Pure VB_Net compression code available

Last year, I wrote a pure VB compression program because
there didn't seem to be anything like this. It is not zip-
compatible because it uses newer (industry-tested, well
known) algorithms, but it compresses a bit better than
zip and is quite fast. Some of the fastest moden
compression programs such as Bzip use these algorithms.

I've converted it to VB.Net for anyone who is interested.
If your app both compresses and decompresses, then the
non-standard format is not an issue, and because it is
non-standard, it obfuscates (what an awful word!) your
data nicely.

Let me know if you want it.
