	compress and uncompress are the same program.  To uncompress a 
file, use:

	compress -d <files>

	You can also copy the program to the name 'uncompress' (so you have
the two executables, 'compress' and 'uncompress' which are actually the same)
And then just say:

	uncompress <files>

	This is possible 'cause the program looks at av[0], the name of the
command, for the default compress/uncompress mode.
