Re: Need strong compression library

this is what I currently use, but the compression is not strong enough

There are different compression values you can use with Roberto's stuff. Provided his implementation support for the the max value works, that's generally as good as you'll get for lossless compression. There haven't been any great advances in lossless compression algorithms for decades. You might need to re-examine the data you're compressing. Have you tried to encrypt it in any way prior to compressing?

That is a very good point.

If data needs to be compressed and encrypted, you need to compress it first, and then encrypt the compressed "file". Never do it the other way arround, beause all repetitive information (needed for compression) would be lost during encryption, which will result in very bad compression.
