	Does anybody out there in net-land know of a good compression
algorithm for 68K object files? I am trying to cram a large object file
into an EPROM that just doesn't have the room. The best that the UNIX
compress can give me is still not enough. It may be that I have to start
pruning code ... but I would rather not if it can be avoided.

If it helps at all, the text:data ratio is somewhere around 2:1.

	Thanks in advance ..
