I haven't looked at the code recently, but my experience has been that a special bit sequence is emitted to signal a dictionary flush. I haven't tested it either, so if you say it didn't work I believe you. But plain old LZW definitely does not have this problem, the compressor can do whatever it wants, and the decompressor will stay sync'd up because it detects these reset codes. -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp.
