LZWStream

Implementation of the LZW algorithm in C#, adhering to the built-in System.IO.Compression.
The algorithm and code is much improved, compared to projects like SharpLZW.

The LZW algorithm is for arbitrary lossless data compression and are noticeable for simplicity and low (compared to others) memory consumption. Making it interesting for eg. embedded use.

There're many other LZW implementations out there. This one is focused on KISS and C#.

Features

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
