deflate model for paq8?

[kaitz]

Is it possible to decode deflate stream the same way as is the case of jpeg paq8 model where huffman codes are used for context.
As a specific model deflate.

Or is it meaningless?

Can someone who is familiar with deflate respond?

yes, it's possible - you'll get a sequence of chars and (dist,len) pairs. whether it has meaning to reencode output of lz-32kb model is debatable

Deflate streams are easy to decompress. But, for me, the hardest thing is to detect any deflate stream within a stream. Because, deflate stream only consist 3 bits header which is not bounded by byte boundries (so, every 3 bits should be checked). But, zLib streams are easier to detect. They consist 2 bytes header+adler32 checksum for decompressed data. I'm working on it already for BIT. If I'll make some progress, I'll report it in here.
