On a Fortune 32:16 with 1M RAM and process size 512K, it appears that compress can do at most 15 bits of compression/decompression. Does anyone know of a way to uncompress 16 bits in such a situation?

I would think that a 16-bit uncompress (and compress) should be able to run in 512K. You may want to try to compile compress for 16 bits and see if it runs. I think compress uses about 400Kbytes in a big array, some 20K of other variables, and the rest is code. But it's not a very big program so it should fit in the remaining 90K.

There is a version of 16-bit uncompress available for download on The Consultants' Exchange BBS in the unix files area that will run in 256K of RAM. I have sent a copy of the source code to the original poster. If anyone else needs a copy, the name of the file is pcuncomp.arc. You'll find the phone number in the .signature.
