Thanks for the response! I had assumed that you were no longer listening to that email address.
I had actually already used your code to understand the LZW method, but reworked some code from the CPAN module
to make the actual code. I'll be rewriting much of this code too, though, but your code was a great help at getting started. Check this thread:
for more info.
Thanks again! I will keep this new script in my reference collection.
