ES:DI -> entry point in LZSAPI server (usually, driver
STACKER.COM) containing far address of an actual
LZSINFO structure (see #02808)

Format of LZSINFO structure: Offset Size Description (Table 02808) 00h 6 BYTEs signature "LZSAPI" 06h WORD server version (200 (0C8h) for Stacker 4 and Stacker Anywhere) 08h 4 BYTEs vendor signature "STAC" = Stac Electronics, Inc. 0Ch 6 BYTEs ???

Server status/capabilities (see #02809) 14h DWORD -> Stacker 3.X-compatible compression procedure 18h DWORD -> Stacker 3.X-compatible decompression procedure 1Ch 4 BYTEs reserved (always set to 0) 20h DWORD -> incremental Stacker 3.x-compatible compression procedure (see #02810) 24h 4 BYTEs ??? 28h DWORD -> incremental Stacker 3.x-compatible decompression procedure (see #02811) 2Ch 4 BYTES ??? 30h DWORD -> new (Stacker 4) compression procedure 34h 4 BYTEs ??? 38h DWORD -> new (Stacker 4) decompression procedure
Notes: Stacker 4 usally keeps two different data-compression algorithms in memory (preferably in XMA): 1) new (Stacker 4) data compression algorithm (4K LZ77 with hashing and static Huffman encoding), and 2) old (Stacker 3.x-compatible) one (2K LZ77 with hashing), which is used to work with STACVOL files created under older versions of Stacker.
