- In the version of compress which I found at ftp-os2 (compr412.zoo), the
- source checks to see if argv[0] is equal to "uncompress". It does not
- check to see if argv[0] is equal to "uncompress.exe", thus the test
- always fails. (Personally, I can live with using "compress -d", but I
- thought I'd mention this.)
