   compression

   It looks like comp.compression is now all-spam.   
      
   I found this code:   
      
   https://ncedc.org/qug/software/dos_utilities/comp430s.zip   
      
   which is public domain C code that is   
   capable of doing Unix "compress" to   
   decompress UUCP news bundles.   
      
   I wondered if info-unzip was capable of   
   decompressing this format.   
      
   There is an "unshrink.c" which sounds like   
   it might, but it has apparently been modified.   
      
   I'm happy to dumb down the comp430s code so   
   that it fits within info-unzip capabilities.   
      
   Any idea what the situation is?   
      
   And obviously I have some work to do to   
   integrate that code into a zip.c program   
   (I have already written such a thing with   
   zero compression).   
      
   If there is an alternative suggestion I am   
   open to that. But the alternative needs to   
   also be C90-compliant public domain code.   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
