Is there a pure Haskell gzip/bzip compression module out there?

Hi All, I looked at Hackage and found a couple of pure Haskell modules for un-compression. Are there any for comression? I found Huffman compression - but what I need is something that I can uncompress with standard tools. -- Regards, Kashyap

The zlib package provides GZip compression and decompression: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/zlib/0.4.0.2/doc/html/Codec-Comp... Cheers, Max

It is not pure haskell implementation. As I know there are no pure implementation. But why not to use binding to foreign library?

It's for a purely academic purpose :)
