Damjan Jovanovic commented on COMPRESS-243:
-------------------------------------------
I've considered this before. That Unix compress tool which writes .Z files
(http://ncompress.sourceforge.net) is in the public domain, the useful part of
its source code is at
http://sourceforge.net/p/ncompress/code/ci/master/tree/compress.c and we
immediately see it is far more general than the TIFF6-specific commons-imaging
implementation (block mode, variable max bits size), and *much* faster.
Later I'll examine the compressed bitstream compatibility between them, but
don't get your hopes up.
