I am in search of a more current version of compress.  The version that I
have is circa 1985/6 - the RCS info says v 4.0, 85/07/30 and the
SccsId says v1.13, 12/16/86.  I know that in a recent trade mag someone
was reviewing Saber C and discussed debugging compress with it - and finding
a few things that could be changed to make the code a bit more portable,
etc.  

I also know that with the version of compress that I have, I occasionally
lose files if I happen to compile it under a System V environment and
compress a file which has 13 or 14 characters - the .Z is lost and the
program deletes the compressed file at the end of the processing...

Anyone know of any fixes to these and other bugs?
