4718.0. "COMPRESS and deCOMPRESS..." by VMSNET::WOODBURY () Wed May 01 1991 15:28

	I have run into an apparent limitation in the version of COMPRESS.EXE
    found in TAPE::AMIGA:[AMIGA.TOOLS].  I get the following error message --

stdin: compressed with 16 bits, can only handle 13 bits
%NONAME-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000000

    Am I doing something wrong or is there another version of COMPRESS that
    can handle 16 bits available?

    I changed that a while ago I think.  There is a copy in
    dfs::amiga:compress.arc.
    
    If you build this on the amiga it uses the same file naming
    convention as the VAX (i.e. a.txt <--> a.txt_z) for convenience.
