It's me again, the original flamer. Rich Salz sent me a de-compressed
copy of compress.c from the archives. I got it to run on my 386 PC
in 32-bit mode after a small bit of hacking. It can be made to run on
a regular PC, but it will need to use huge arrays and be seriously 
hacked to be generally useful for decompressing things compressed on
32bit machines. It would be nice if somebody could portabilize 
all these things (or make versions for the PC and MAC) and post them.
I COULD post mine - but it needs the Phar Lap runtime, and Phar Lap
won't let you post such things without paying them money (!). If
you have that I can send it to you.

I still think plain text posting would be better.
