Russ (et al),
(Russ responded to Ted Emigh about SCAN, suggesting it might be a good
extension to bishow.}
I did a hack and put assembler routines for Unsqueezing squeezed text
files into BISHOW.  Works just fine, but .. since you're having to
buffer text (to permit paging back and forth), it's aggravating to
wait not only while your system reads in from disk a new buffer full,
but then the Unsqueezing too.  Since I used two different buffer sizes
(one for reads, one for the unsqueezed text), it got a little strange.
Worked .. but as I said, aggravating.

If you wanna see how I did it, yell, and I'll (painstakingly) upload
the source code where you can FTP it.
