Digital Lempel Ziv 1
DLZ1

   <algorithm> (DLZ1) A {Lempel-Ziv compression} {algorithm}
   which maps variable length input strings to variable length
   output symbols.  During compression, the algorithm builds a
   dictionary of strings which is accessed by means of a {hash
   table}.  Compression occurs when input data matches a string
   in the table and is replaced with the output symbol.

   DLZ1 is used on {Digital Linear Tape}.
