Hello,
    I am taking a class in Datastructures in C and am having some trouble
with a particular structure. I was experimenting with the LZW Compression
Algorithm. The compression algorithm was coded in an article in the
Dr. Dobb's Journal. The code has been written using a technique of
"Parallel Arrays".
 I would like to convert this code using simply linked lists
(preferrably, doubly linked lists). I will be happy if you could send me a
sample or suggestions of both parallell arrays & doubly linked lists displaying
usage and conversion.

Could you tell me which issue of DDJ had that article? You may want to
refer "The Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson (M&T Books). This book
examines and analyzes several popular data compression techniques, including
the LZW compression.
