Someone has posted here that 16-bit compress/uncompress/zcat needs more
than 64k-code/64k-data.

Shouldn't it be possible to write a kludged version that will run in
under the 64k/64k memory limit, and use disk files?  It sure would be
nice to have a compatible compress/uncompress/zcat.  Maybe I'll write
one after I get my version of minix upgraded to 1.5.  Don't anybody hold
your breath because I'm starting from 1.2 (giga-curses to the disservice
experienced from Prentice-Hall).
