                     What is The TLZHCompressor component?


    This unit implements a component which allows the user to compress
   data using a combination of LZSS compression and adaptive Huffman coding
   (Similar to that use by LHARC 1.x), or conversely to decompress data that
   was previously compressed by this unit.

   Where the data being compressed/decompressed is coming from/going to is
   entirely under the control of the calling routine.
