Ignore my previous question about "with what do I unCompress?"  I found a 
'man' page about 'compress' on a Unix system, and did it there.

UNFORTUNATELY...  The program you posted, Ken, turns out to be an IBM-PC
program to read ATARI disks, NOT the other way around as I took your SUBJ:
line to mean.

Therefore, I explicitly pose the converse question: does there exist a 
program to let an Atari with true double density (say, the US Doubler
chip in a 1050 drive) read IBM-PC disks?  That was what I thought the
promised program purported to do, and only found out the opposite after
going through quite a bit of work to extract it...

(And, beyond that, are you sure the program is meant for 5 1/4" rather
than 3 1/2" floppies?  I'll be explicit, again, and add to my above question
the qualification that by "...IBM PC disks on the Atari..." I mean 5 1/4"
floppies.)

Sigh...
