Re: ideas on "reversing" the process for deflate code?

 I don't thing there will be a tremendous amount in common between
the defaltor and inflator.  Probably the huffman table building
could be used by the deflator, but after the table is build you would
want to build the reverse index right away (mapping octets to bit sequences).
The defaltor is going to need code to scan for the longest preceeding 
common substring in the input.
