    public class UncompressInputStream

extends FilterInputStream

This class decompresses an input stream containing data compressed with the unix "compress" utility (LZC, a LZW variant). This code is based heavily on the unlzw.c code in gzip-1.2.4 (written by Peter Jannesen) and the original compress code. This version has been modified from the original 0.3-3 version by the Unidata Program Center (support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) to make the constructor public and to fix a couple of bugs. Also: - markSupported() returns false - add uncompress() static method
