I´m searching for a paper/tutorial to write my own decompression function for a gzip file.
I asked google, but because english isn´t my natural language, I don´t know the right key words.
So I hope here are someones who can point me in the right direction!

Typo: it's "Lemp
el". Not that google wouldn't correct it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78 <- good starting point on how those compression schemes works at the basis
