| I would like functions, in C or C++, that compress
and uncompress arrays in memory. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike.

a few things need to be answered here, eg:
arrays of what?...
an array of bytes is different, eg, than an array of floats, or one of
structs. likewise, what kind of data is in said "array", eg, is it sparse
numerical data, or a dense dense glob of text, ...
once all this is answered, then a better answer may be possible...

Two kinds of arrays:
ASCII characters;
and nondescript bits.
