>DOES ANYONE HAVE A 16-BIT COMPRESS THAT WORKS ON XENIX/286?

the compress.c program in your netnews src directory,
if compiled WITHOUT "pcxt" defined and WITH "M_XENIX"
defined, will do 16-bit compression/decompression.
according to the header, it is compress 1.13, based on
compress.c v4.0.
works just fine on my xenix 286 system (which has a measly
1M of RAM) decompressing files which i exchange with an
ULTRIX VAX.
