Here is something to pack files useing the same algorithm that LHA uses..

{
     This unit allows the user to commpress data using a combination of
   LZSS compression and adaptive Huffman coding, or conversely to decompress
   data that was previously compressed by this unit.

     There are a number of options as to where the data being compressed/
   decompressed is coming from/going to.

    In fact it requires that you pass the "LZHPack" procedure 2 procedural
  parameter of type 'GetProcType' and 'PutProcType' (declared below) which
  will accept 3 parameters and act in every way like a 'BlockRead'/'BlockWrite'
  procedure call. Your 'GetProcType' procedure should return the data
  to be compressed, and Your 'PutProcType' procedure should do something with
  the compressed data (ie., put it in a file).  In case you need to know (and
  you do if you want to decompress this data again) the number of bytes in the
  compressed data (original, not compressed size) is returned in
'Bytes_Written'.
  GetBytesProc = PROCEDURE(VAR DTA; NBytes:WORD; VAR Bytes_Got : WORD);

  DTA is the start of a memory location where the information returned should
  be.  NBytes is the number of bytes requested.  The actual number of bytes
  returned must be passed in Bytes_Got (if there is no more data then 0
  should be returned).

  PutBytesProc = PROCEDURE(VAR DTA; NBytes:WORD; VAR Bytes_Got : WORD);

  As above except instead of asking for data the procedure is dumping out
  compressed data, do somthing with it.


    "LZHUnPack" is basically the same thing in reverse.  It requires
  procedural parameters of type 'PutProcType'/'GetProcType' which
  will act as above.  'GetProcType' must retrieve data compressed using
  "LZHPack" (above) and feed it to the unpacking routine as requested.
  'PutProcType' must accept the decompressed data and do something
  withit.  You must also pass in the original size of the decompressed data,
  failure to do so will have adverse results.


     Don't forget that as procedural parameters the 'GetProcType'/'PutProcType'
  procedures must be compiled in the 'F+' state to avoid a catastrophe.



}

{ Note: All the large data structures for these routines are allocated when
  needed from the heap, and deallocated when finished.  So when not in use
  memory requirements are minimal.  However, this unit uses about 34K of
  heap space, and 400 bytes of stack when in use. }

Thought you should know there are two versions of that code.  The first one
had a critical bug in it somewhere.  Sorry, don't have time to elaborate.  If
this is the re-released version then it's alright.  Interestingly, a company
markets this compiled code as part of their "program Installer" product.  See
below too.  They use a DLL implementation.  Here is the README.TXT from the
correct version (MAY 1, 1991):

*****************************************************************************
What I have done is transcribe the LZHUF algorithm into Turbo pascal.
LZH.PAS is the source code for a fairly flexible unit which can compress and
decompress any kind of data you throw at it.  LZHTEST.PAS is a sample program
which can compress/decompress one file at a time.
  What you see is what you get - little documentation, moderate performance
(be charitable, please), and it's free.  Enjoy.

 There was a bug in the first version I made available in February which
caused the unit to hang if it was called upon to compress a large amount
of data. I have fixed this one bug and it now seems to work correctly.
I apologize for any lost sleep this may have caused.
