Iteratee-compress provides compressing and decompressing enumerators including flushing. Currently only gzip is provided but at least bzip is planned.

Changes from previous version: - Independent from zlib library (Haskell one, not C) - Allow hand-flushing the contents (from outside). - Fix potential memory-leak

Next goals: - BZip support - Generic interface for flushing

Have you thought about adding LZO[1] support? There'd be the usual licensing issues for GPL, but it offers a realtime alternative to gzip (i.e., decompression time is hidden by I/O latency) with comparable compression performance. [1] http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ -- Live well, ~wren
