Stefan,
I certainly agree that it needs work to make it more useful and after reviewing
the java Inflater, I agree, that would be a good way to approach it. I would
just caution one thing... the current implementations out there seem to just
inflate the entire stream to into memory without regard for size which makes
them useless to me professionally, so we need to make sure that doesn't occur.

Stefan,
I certainly agree that it needs work to make it more useful, but I'm going to
have to respectfully disagree with you on making it a byte[] implementation.
First, there are already several byte[] based implementations out there and
second, I would be unable to use this is my professional development. I need
to be able to control the amount of memory that is being used by any one
process/thread and cannot afford to just buffer the entire uncompressed stream
into memory. One large file may sink me.
