LZO is an implementation of an algorithm designed for embedded systems that have tight memory or speed requirements. While it won’t compress as well as algorithms such as deflate, it will make up for that by its thrifty use of your computing resources.
LZOP
The home page for lzop - a file compressor that is built on the LZO compression library. lzop is free under the GPL.
Version 1.01 of LZOP shipped in April of 2003.

LZOP Binary Download Site
The author created this site to make LZOP readily available. The page has links to download binaries, plus links to other LZO and LZOP sites.
The UCL Compression Library
UCL is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C. This work is from Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer, known for LZO, UPX and more.
DataCompression.info reader Swift G. had this to say: Excellent library. The compression routines are fast and if you need binary compression this is the way to go.

LZO Streaming Code
Tom St Denis posted an article on comp.compression announcing free source code for streaming to and from files using the LZO engine. This link takes you to stream.c, modify it slightly to get stream.h, the corresponding header file.

The LZO home page.
LZO is a compression library designed for real time projects that need fast compressors and decompressors. LZO is free under the GPL. Current release is LZO 1.07.

Not Really Vanished
The home page for NRV, the next generation successor to LZO. NRV is a portable lossless data compression library written in C++. It offers pretty fast compression and *very* fast decompression. Decompression requires no memory. NRV is free under the GPL.
DCL reader Luigi T. saidIt would be very useful for my needs, but at the moment the source code seems to not be available.

LZO download site
The primary site for downloading LZO files. This includes mini-LZO, a shrunk down version of the LZO library, Perl-LZO, and Python-LZO.

LZO FAQ
The first question in the FAQ: I hate reading docs - just tell me how to add compression to my program
