From the comments it seems to be LZ77. I'm no compression specialist, but
wasn't this the (patented) compression algorithm used in the old compress
program and GIF images? If so, INFLATE/DEFLATE should work better for most
input files. However, the zlib unpacker seems to be larger than the LZ77 one
written by Jede.
