aplib decompressor for ZX Basic.
#23

The difference is very thin, however. How big is the decompressor in bytes, is the next question. Compared to MegaLZ. If it's the same size or smaller, Aplib is probably always the right choice. If it's bigger...you've got a dilemma Smile
From the compiler point of view, I will include both of them. The user must then try packing the binary data with both compressors and choose the smallest result, IMHO.
