[comp.unix.sysv286] 16 bit compress for 286? Yes.

286 only can compress to 12 bits? Ah, it may seem so, but it 't'ain't
so! Compress was modified so that it will do full 16 bit compress and
uncompress. I think it was fixed in the version of the sources
shipped with BNEWS ... in any case, I have it here.
