Lempel Ziv Welch compression in ANSI F77 can be obtained via anonymous ftp
from arp.anu.oz.au (in /ARP/compress). I am still working on it. At the moment 
it is not quite compatible with UNIX compress, but it will be. It is also 
a bit too slow, but there is a great scope for improvements. At this stage 
this is only the first version. And it works!
