I've just finished porting compress 4.3 to the Atari ST under
Alcyon and Sozobon C using dLibs (it was already ported to
Mark Williams C) as well as to Minix-ST.  In the process I've
found a few bugs and (hopefully) made a couple of minor
improvements.  The sources do not list the email address(es)
or the author(s) and I didn't get much documentation when I
got the sources. I'd like the author(s) to contact me so I
can send my modifications for inclusion in the next release.

As a side issue, I was wondering if the compress algorithm
could be written to run with only 64K code + 64K data/bss.
I expect it would be slow, but slow is better than not at
all if you want to do 16-bit compression.
