Data Decompression

Applications can call the functions in LZEXPAND.DLL to decompress files compressed by using COMPRESS.EXE. The functions can also process uncompressed files without attempting to decompress them. To use these functions, applications must include the LZEXPAND.H header file.

The following table describes each function found in LZEXPAND.DLL.

Function
Purpose
CopyLZFile
This function is obsolete. It is provided to simplify porting of 16-bit Windows-based applications. Win32-based applications should use the LZCopy function.
GetExpandedName
Retrieves the original name of a compressed file, if the /r option was used during compression of the file.
LZClose
Closes a file that was opened when the application called the LZOpenFile function.
LZCopy
Copies a source file to a destination file. If the source file is compressed, this function creates a decompressed destination file. If the source file is not compressed, this function duplicates the original file. This function is intended for single-file copy operations.
LZDone
This function is obsolete and should not be used in Win32-based applications. It is provided to simplify porting of 16-bit Windows-based applications.
LZInit
Creates structures used for decompressing files.
LZOpenFile
Opens a file and returns a handle that identifies it.
LZRead
Reads a specified number of bytes from a file. If the file is compressed, this function decompresses the bytes before copying them to the destination buffer.
LZSeek
Positions the file pointer within the decompressed image of a compressed file. The application calls this function to position the pointer before calling the LZRead function.
LZStart
This function is obsolete and should not be used in Win32-based applications. It is provided to simplify porting of 16-bit Windows-based applications.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications.

Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
