Someone recently indicated that shrinkit can be used to uncompress unix
.Z files that have been compressed with compress.  Is there any
particular trick to doing it?  (I haven't tried it but I thought
shrinkit only took files of a particular prodos filetype and internal
structure.)  Can it also be used to compress a file and produce a .Z
compatible file?  (The application is obvious:  decreasing the
communications line time for transferring large text files between a
unix system and an apple system.)
