Message: [QUOTE="Charles L., post: 4628470"] Hi Michael, Sure feel free to add me on the rubyforge/github, or just copy the relevant files back in if you prefer. There's a few small fixes needed to the deflate code, but after that it might be a good candidate for inclusion. The idea of a general ruby compression library is nice. With rubyzip, and a pure ruby zlib, all thats probably missing is bzip2, and bwt is fairly straight forward (I believe I saw a python implementation in around 100 lines). I'm really hoping some of that javascript vm goodness will find its way to ruby though (or psyco equivalent or whatever), because without it, pure ruby compression (or any algorithmic code) remains unsuitable for general purpose use.
