Boy, am I glad you asked!  While not one of the authors, I am the Usenet 
"contact" for them.  I sent the sources, as requested, to the last author
listed in the compress 4.0 doc file.  He said he would prefer to be the
distributor.  However, he has neither distributed nor responded to any of my
email.

I will be happy to post the sources to comp.unix.source if that does not
mean stepping on anyone's toes.  The sources include MSDOS-specific
configurations, so that the same source package can be compiled on a great
variety of computers.  This was the goal of the 4.3 authors.

Please email your opinions.

Pete
