zx0-6x09 is a Motorola 6809 and Hitachi 6309 decompressor for the ZX0 data compression format by Einar Saukas. ZX0 provides a tradeoff between high compression ratio and extremely simple fast decompression.
To compress a file, use the command-line compressor from https://github.com/emmanuel-marty/salvador with the "-classic" flag.
WARNING: The ZX0 file format was changed in version 2. This library still uses version 1. There are currently no plans for a version 2 as the version 1 format is optimal for the M6809/H6309 processor. A version 2 decompressor would be both slower and use slightly more space.
