	Why don't we all start using COMIC? It compresses better that
	compress (in general) and it will run in 64x64. I know there are
	a lot of ``.Z'' files around, but people are actually still
	using compress to compress (what's in a name ;-). I to am
	interested in 16 bit compress, but only to decompress. Please
	decompress and COMIC any ``.Z'' you can get your hands on.

	Please post 16 bit compress for PC-MINIX to this newsgroup.

	Regards Jan-Mark.
