From the man page for compress (Dillon's UUCP 1.06D):


     NAME
	  compress, uncompress, zcat - compress and expand data

	  14compress		     - 14 bit version of compress,
				       takes less memory.

	  NOTE: 'uncompress' and 'zcat' are the exact same executable
	  as 'compress', just renamed.  These 16 bit versions can also
	  uncompress files compressed with 14compress

     SYYNOPSIS
	  compress [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -c ] [ -V ] [ -bits ] [ name ... ]
	  uncompress [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -c ] [ -V ] [ name ... ]
	  zcat [ -V ] [ name ... ]

     DESCRIPTION
	  * SPECIAL NOTE, for UUCP distributions which do not contain
	    '14compress' but which do contain 'compress', the
	    'compress' is actually the 14 bit version, not the 16
	    bit version.

    None of what I say is what my employer says, ever!
    Am I still confused if I'm not, but only THINK I'm confused?
