Talk:DEFLATE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] ZipForge

Find out whether ZipForge is a separate implementation. The ZipForge web page includes the wording:

 "One of the fastest Deflate implementations available today"

but doesn't give further information. Downloading zf_d4_274.zip, then unzip install.exe gives a files called HISTORY.TXT. The history (changelog) file contains the wording:

 - version 2.70 (01/31/2006)
 New features added: 
 1. Extraction speed is increased. ZLib library is updated.
 ...

Whether this is the zlib is unknown. Sladen 17:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I have not received a reply from the company yet, but having downloaded a copy of Zipforge and attacked the library with 'strings' I'm fairly sure it's plain zlib. Sladen 20:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AHA36x

I ended up writing so much after researching the AHA36x that it may be worth moving this section to a separate page rather than risk losing it. Sladen 17:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] StorCompress

Indra Networks appear to do the http://www.indranetworks.com/products-StorCompress300.html device, also hardware deflate. Sladen 05:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
