I use the zlib implementation of the deflate algorithm to compress a ByteArray.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEFLATE for details on the deflate algorithm.
This is how you get a compressed ByteArray from your input:
zipStream := ZLibWriteStream on: (ByteArray new).
zipStream
nextPutAll: myByteArray;
close.
compressed := zipStream encodedStream contents.
