On the Atari Corp. BBS (408-745-5308) in SIG #7 (ST Art), you will find two
programs -- a squeezer and an unsqueezer.  We squeeze all pictures on the
BBS to help save downloading time (disk space also, but we still have more
than half the 20-meg free -- god I love hard drives!).

Thanks!  I wouldn't be without it myself.
