I would suggest using zlib. You can check it out at http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/

I would appreciate some pointers or tips on the following: I store a self defined BIN format file on a memory card to be read and displayed. The records do consist of a 8 byte data header [HDR] and a variable length, null-terminated string with up to 32K of characters. This buffer may contain one or more strings beeing separated by the null-terminator. Sample: [HDR],"AAA\0BBB\0CCC\0" As the memory card is not as performant as I'd like it to be I plan to compress the data buffer to reduce card access. Anybody with an idea or some sort of tips on this?
