<algorithm> (DLZ1) A Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm
which maps variable length input strings to variable length
output symbols. During compression, the algorithm builds a
dictionary of strings which is accessed by means of a hash
table. Compression occurs when input data matches a string
in the table and is replaced with the output symbol.
DLZ1 is used on Digital Linear Tape.
