Compress :

    finally
      ms1.Free;
    end;
  finally
    ms2.Free;
  end;

Decompress :

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var

begin
  ms1 := TMemoryStream.Create;
  try
    ms2 := TMemoryStream.Create;
    try

      DecompressStream(ms1, ms2);
      memo1.Lines.LoadFromStream(ms2);
    finally
      ms1.Free;
    end;
  finally
    ms2.Free;
  end;
