[comp.sources.wanted] Looking for compress that works from disk.

	Some time ago, soeone mentioned having converted compress to
work to/from disk instead of memory. I'd like a copy if someone has one around.
Thanks,

i think you are refering to postings of mine.  i did get it to sort of
work.  however, the speed was so slow as to be worthless.  i hate to suggest
you buy more memory, but if you want a compress which can do it's work
in your lifetime, that may be the only solution.
