Author Compression algorithm for a stream of binary data

Hi everybody,
I need to compress a stream of binary data on a single file.
The algoritm I'm looking for, would be able to append compressed data
to the compressed file, in order to be modular.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks
Claudia

I'm not sure what you mean by "modular", but take a look at gzlog.h
and gzlog.c in the examples directory of the zlib 1.2.3 distribution
(at http://zlib.net/ ). It efficiently appends short log messages to
a gzip file.
