I had the same problem with UUCP201.LBR. Meanwhile, UUCP20I.LBR is available at SIMTEL20. Trying out that (new?) version I found that the missing components (ALL.SUB, OTHERS.SUB, CCICO.SUB and MAIL.SUB) were in place now. Instead the docs are packed in a strange way, they are not crunched or squeezed, but have the character 'Y' as the middle char of the file extension ( *.DYC). What does this mean? A new reducing technique? Ruediger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ruediger Soerensen, University of Mainz, W.

I can mail you a copy of the uncruncher, UCRLZH11.COM, which will not only uncrunch LZH-encoded files, they can uncrunch GEL-encoded files (?Z?), and unsqueeze Huffman-encoded files (?Q?). Plus I have a file that can extract files from a library, while, at the same time, decompress them if they are compressed. For anyone out there, jus give the word, and I'll post the LBR uuencoded, so you can pipe it to uudecode. -- Home: Ian Justman |UUCP:(1) My CP/M machine. |"One of the few 6612 Whitsett Drive | (2) My host. |die-hard CP/M North Highlands, CA |(1) !pacbell!sactoh0!ijsys!ianj |addicts left on this (916) 344-5360 95660|(2) !pacbell!sactoh0!ianj |planet"

What does this mean? A new reducing technique? This is indeed a new compression method - to uncompress it look for CRLZH, or EXL: both of these will allow extraction of the file. .?Y? and .?Z? are the current best methods, in 90% of cases I've tried, .?Y? files come out smaller than the corresponding .?Z? file. -- dg@lakart.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ IHS | +-+-+ ....... !harvard!xait!lakart!dg +-+-+ | AKA: dg%lakart.uucp@xait.xerox.com +---+

This is the same algorithm used by LHARC and PKZIP IMPLODE technique. Look for CRLZH11.LBR on your favorite RCP/M, or call Z-Node #9q at 619-270-3148. That's the author's own system, and the latest versions of the programs are available there. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marc Wilson ARPA: ...!crash!mwilson@nosc.mil ...!crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mwilson@nosc.mil UUCP: [ cbosgd | hp-sdd!hplabs | sdcsvax | nosc ]!crash!mwilson INET: mwilson@crash.CTS.COM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Ruediger, the files with the "?Y?" extension are LZH compressed files (as ?Z? are crunched and ?Q? are squeezed). I've got some programs to deal with these files, if you are interested... Tilmann Reh (D-5900 Siegen, 0271/312599)
