Description

Hi there,

I want to help on #367 and want to get some enlightenment to point me out how to test on it. I had build and download the test images from raw.pixls.us, what will be the recommend process of testing?

For example, how can I determine the decompressor is successfully implement? Are there any viewer or way to test the result?

Thanks!
