A method, and apparatus for accomplishing the method, of compressing data for transmission over a communications channel by receiving one or more data symbols comprising a current data string and at least one subsequent symbol, matching a longest previous data string with the current data string, the previous data string being defined by a code word, placing the code word into a compressed data stream, attempting to extend the current data string by a plurality of symbols, placing, in the event the current data string is extended, a string-extension length indicative of the plurality of symbols into the compressed data stream, and transmitting the compressed data stream though the communications channel.
