The following problems with my compress have been identified and are under
investigation:

1.	The packed files produced by compress are different on different
	machines and dependent on the vax sysgen option.
2.	The exit status is not well defined (on some machines) causing the
	scripts to fail.
3.	The function getopt() is not available in all C libraries.

					regards,
					joe
