    About a week ago I downloaded LZ 1.01 from a local BBS, and found out that
it was crippleware in that the program won't process files larger than 60K.
Just today I downloaded LZ 2.00 from NASA and saw nothing stating that it was
crippled.  In fact, it said that it was in the public domain.  The documen-
tation also did not even mention the existence of an LZ 1.01.  When I tried to
use it on a file larger than 60K, however, I got this message:

This version of LZ will process files larger or smaller than 60000 bytes

This, to me, says it is not crippled, but the program refuses to function.  I
also find it strange that if this program is crippled, it does not explicitly
say so, and it does not give the author's address or ask for money.  LZ 1.01
did.  So, my question is: What's going on here?  Thanks in advance.
