Take a file on your drive and deflate it... You now have a *.zip file 10% the size of the original. Of course, you can't do anything much with it while it's compressed, so you'll have to uncompress it before using it -- but it sure makes a heckuva difference when downloading and extracting a 10MB file, verses a 100MB one!
_Deflate compresses a string of data. (Think of it as turning your *.TXT file into a *.ZIP file.)
_Inflate reverses the process.
