How to use

This sample is a console application that takes at least one parameter (the destination file name) to perform compression. The sample's usage description is:

Compress [options] [input_file] output_file

The parameters between brackets are optional. The option parameter can be used to specify the compression format (/m). If the compression format is omitted, the Standard compression format will be used. If the input file name is omitted, the sample will ask the user to type in (from the console) the string to compress.
