The same for SysV r2.0 on an AT&T 6300 Plus (essentially the same o/s and
processor.)  The only item of note is that the size of the running 
process is >900 blocks, which pretty much absorbs the attention of a
1 mb system.  

I keep a copy of the 12 bit compress as compress for on system use,
and a copy of the 16bit which I call with compress16 -d to uncompress
the off system 16 bit stuff.
