But someone translated the Japanese doc into english, sent the source and binaries to SimTel (and the other IBM archives) and Rahul just posted the source on comp.binaries.ibm.pc about a week ago. The discussion is quite heavy on the comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d group concerning the savings in disk space in the use of the lz pgms. -- Larry W.
