We have mislabeled PKWARE's DCL IMPLODE format as DCL INFLATE in the ScummVM credits and messages.

It's true that PKWARE's Data Compression Library also supported PKWARE's DEFLATE at some point, but that's a completely different format.

The Data Compression Library format we decompress is named IMPLODE. You'd call the implode library function to compress with it and explode to decompress.
