Any ideas? The MS-DOS version from the author of the official Unix compress and uncompress is available from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [26.2.0.74] and the mirror at wuarchive.wustl.edu. Is this the one that hooks multiple files back together automatically and allows you to set the translation table? That's essential when you're dealing with files encoded in Europe or some place where they use only 99.44% pure ASCII. I backed up one too far (or too little) and replied to the wrong message. I was referring to a message about shareware uuencode/decode. Compress/uncompress is based on LZ, and is binary in encoded form, of course. I have c sources for a uuencode suite which does what I asked about, and if the ones at the archives are not these, it might do to get them changed out.
