       Files in CPM; should be compressed.

Please dont.  Some of us like to look at the program/whatever
BEFORE we download it, if it ever gets downloaded at all.  I
frequently run a program from CPM though a translation process
and assemble using a cross assembler...  It is particurally
annoying, for example, that the documentation for SYSLIB, which
is applicable to more than just CPM systems, is essentially
unusable without a rather specific cpm environment. (Not that
Im complaining - beggars can't be choosy!).  The ideal solution
would be to write versions of SQUEZE/UNSQUEZE for various large
computers (it might even be useful in its own right!).  For
example, does anyone have it running under UNIX (this should
be relatively easy...).
