Now that's strange.  I have a program called COMPRESS for my PC (which 
appears to have been written by someone on Compu$ock-it-to-em) which does
handle full 16-bit compression, as well as uncompression.  Even on my PC
with only 472K available memory after TSR's.

Lemme see if I can find it.  I believe the archive was called COMP420.XXX
(ZIP, ARC, or even ZOO).
