I have the full functionality of compress working on SCO. I got
the fixes from someone on the net, I think at SCO. I would be
willing to mail to a few people, but my mailer get upset if I
mail too much, and I might have to post it or put it on my BBS.
It's in small model with huge extensions. Source is ~40K without
the atob, etc, which comes with the package as posted.

NOTE: I doubt like hell that this version will run under any
other version.
