The Amiga and MAC, at least, are 32 bit machines.  At least enough to
be able to uncompress 16 bit encoding.  I didn't have enought free RAM
on my 512K (for the moment) Amiga at home (yet), since 16 bit encoding
requires about 400K+ free RAM just for data space.  But it decodes fine on
any Amiga with even 256K extra memory.  Though I've seen much longer
sources posted here than the adventure source would have been uncompressed,
so I would question the necessity of compressing sources.  A PC would
certainly have trouble with 16 bit compression, and there are LOTS of
them out there to consider.
