LZW compression is no longer the standard.

Deflate is the new standard.
  http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
Why else would the GNU system use deflated .gz files instead of
LZW-compressed .Z files?

No, all bytes are roots.  ASCII characters range from 0 to 0x7f; the
LZW you're trying to implement (but you'll probably get sued for it)
covers all bytes from 0 to 0xff.
