Abstract
Aspects of the invention are provided for decoding a selected span of data within a compressed code stream. A selection of data within the compressed code stream from an arbitrary position is presented for decompression. The arbitrary position is the starting point in the compressed code stream for decompression, and a phrase within the compressed code stream containing the starting point is identified. From the arbitrary starting point, a back pointer may provide direction to the literal. The literal is extracted as a decoding of the compressed data associated with the starting point.
