Rebol/Deflate

libdeflate extension for Rebol3 (version 3.20.5 and higher)

Basic Usage

deflate: import deflate
bin: deflate/compress mold system
str: deflate/decompress bin

Because this extension replaces existing deflate, zlib and gzip compression methods, one can use also simple:

bin: compress mold system 'zlib
str: decompress bin 'zlib

Streaming API is not part of this extension. Use Rebol/Zlib-ng instead, if needed.
