Yes, but you are adding informaition to the file! Where is the information that says 1 decompresses to 1111111 or whatever, where is the information that says where to insert the zeros?
This confuses me:
If you have this:
1101101001001
and you discard all zeros it becomes this:
1111111
you have lost information, you no longer know where those zeros went!
Can you maybe reexplain the compression technique or link me to a site that does?

I'm dead serious, and obviously am missing something clear. Will someone kindly take two minutes to fill me in? :-)

Ahh! Try not to be annoyed by my newbieness (I just started programming recently).
Ok, fine, so now you end up with 1 from 1101101001001. But how do you go backwards?
I receive 1.
How do I decompress 1 to 1101101001001?
There isn't enough information?
