[comp.os.cpm] Unusual File Compression Method

krl@jujeh.mlb.semi.harris.com (Ken Lyons) (11/07/90)

I am trying uncompress some files I obtained from SIMTEL-20 that are
of the form: 

*.?Y?

Can anyone indicate what this form is and what I need to get to
uncompress it and where?  I am already familiar with *.LBR, *.?Q?,
*.?Z?, and *.ARK, but this one has me stumped.

Thanks,
Ken Lyons

You use a newer uncrunch program called "ucrlzh11.com" in
CRLZH11.LBR.  I believe it's in PD:<CPM.ARC (Don't hold me to
this)>CRLZH11.LBR.  The *.?Y? uses the LZH compression method.
If you like I could send you a copy of the program.
