- compress, uncompress, and zcat are all the same program, just invoked
- differently. On the //gs you can either make two copies of the program (ugh)
- or invoke compress with an option which tells it to uncompress rather than
- compress. I use a shell alias under Orca to do this.

- So grab compress43.bsq, it's what you're looking for. It's also one hell of
- a lot slower than GSHK. (Jawaid...?)
