This is a repost. On our system running SysVr2.2, 40223 is 8093 (1F9D hex). Use "od -x" on a compressed file to see if your first word is different. We changed data to file. We also found a space in front of the '-' was picked up leading to "compressed file - 16 bits" instead of "compressed file- 16 bits". Great idea!
