How to Compress a string in C++?

so I'm making an iPhone app and part of the code is in C++. I'm loading an 80mb file which is basically just a lot of text, but I notice that same file when zipped is just 17mb which would be easier to open for an iPhone. How can I compress this file and at runtime decompress and read the decompressed string?
