[comp.sources.wanted] Wanted: Compress, Uncompress, Etc for Non-Unix.

Hello,

  Can anyone send a copy of compress to me that isnt so system
dependent?  The copy I had in mind would take:
        compress infile
and read infile and write to infile.Z.  Currently the source
that I was looking at did some switching with stdout and other 
file usage that the system I am on just doesnt like. (Yea I know that
sounds like a C problem, but I just was trying to see if anyone had
the basic source that 'read in a part of the file and compressed it and
wrote it to the outfile', or whatever it does).

  Also, does it seem like it does a lot 'SYSTEM' defining throughout
the program?  With a large part of the code like that it was hard for me
to try and set it up on our system.

  Any help would be appreciated. For anyone that cares, I am on a PRIME.

  Thanks,

     Paul Linton
