zlib is good for text or others - it is what zip uses.
Zlib homepage is at:
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
A GLib plugin is included with my midi file player, as well as the text to
patch zlib to compile to this Glib at www.execpc.com/~tz
zlib-1.1.3.palm.diff
(against 1.1.3, but that should be close to current - not all functions
implemented, but compress and decompress work).
It is also part of my openpgp implementation for the palm at
www.cryptography.org as palmopgp12.tgz (somewhere under the pgp
directory). That has some example code for both compress and decompress.
