(Lempel-Ziv-Welch) A data compression method that stems from techniques introduced by Jacob Ziv and Abraham Lempel. LZW has been used in many hardware and software products, including V.42bis modems, GIF, TIF and PDF files and PostScript Level 2. The LZ77 method creates pointers back to repeating data, while LZ78 creates a dictionary of repeating phrases with pointers to those phrases.
