- u16 - 16 bit LZW uncompress for the IBM PC, version 1.2
- Written for the IBM PC by tahorsley@ssd.harris.com (Tom Horsley).
-
- u16 [-H] [files...]
-
- -H Print this message and exit.
-
- Uncompresses each input file and writes result to stdout. With no
- input file specified, reads stdin. Probably requires 270-280K of free
- memory to run.
-
- NOTE: this is kind of like zcat, but it does not try to stick any .Z's
- on the ends of file names.

- [ Following description is a composite from two messages -- R.D. ]
-
- u16 can decompress files compressed with the "compress" program and
- handles 16 bit compression.
-
- It will need somewhere around 280K to run.
-
- Type "u16 -H" for a help message.
-
- Version 1.2 fixes some bugs that 1.1 had uncompressing multiple files.
- (I may get this right someday :-).

- [
- This is a welcome program because MS-DOS users with limited memory
- often get stuck with 16-bit-"compress" format files that they cannot
- uncompress easily.
-
- This version of u16 replaces an earlier version posted here that had
- some bugs.
