Sorry Jim, but one does exist.  It's called U16.EXE and I use it at
home all the time to un-compress files I compress on my UNIX system
here at work.  Works like a charm.  It was posted here on the net
about a year ago I think (executables and source).  The only thing
I wish it could do is "compress" files.

PS - John, if you don't get a responce to your request, drop me a note
     and I'll arrange to send you U16.
