You might consider the tiny compressor-decompressor LZHuf :
I have made a generic Ada version so you can use it in any
I/O context. For speed it depends on the package's contents
(the Huffman tree is implemented with indices, could be faster
with pointers) and the compiler's optimiser : with OA 7.1
LZHuf was terribily slow compared to GNAT. The latest OA
7.2 seems better.

For TED: Unzip-Ada only decompresses. For ZIP compression
I would interface with Info-ZIP or -better- call 7-ZIP...

Source of LZHuf there:    HTH
