If it only understood Compactor format, we'd be able to decompress Compactor
files in twice the time it takes now, and we wouldn't have to even think about
using a freeware program to do it.  ;-)

Just like Binhex -- hey, why pull down the Apple menu, run the Binhqx DA, and
get it decoded in about 15 seconds when by launching Stuffit, you can do it
in a minute or so?

Flames to Chooser device Null.  Insert additional smileys to taste.
