Are there good applications (software) that perform dictionary based compression algorithm (LZ77 and LZW). And it is better if the application show: Compression ratio, Compression and decompression Time. I want to apply the compression in the text file and see the changes of file’s content after compressing.

Thanks

Probably the most widespread compression/decompression library is zlib, which uses LZ77. It is incredibly portable and runs on Linux and Windows. It also has a license with very few restrictions.

Starting with Windows XP, Windows supports LZ compression natively (see related functions).
