Task and example

The task talks about compression, but I've seen a lot of examples implement both compression and decompression; should we create a new task (LZW decompression) where to move the decompression related code, or change this one and add decompression to those examples that still does not implement it? --ShinTakezou 16:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
