For some reason, my Osborne Executive has always choked on this program (as
well as the normal crunch/uncrunch program.) I have gotten around this by
using uncrunchers on other machines (such as uncr233 on the IBM.) Does anyone
have a C source code for an uncruncher for ?Y? compression (or anyone want to
tell me why the Osborne gags on these programs in the first place :) I tried
several other LZH decompressors on various machines, but they didn't recognize
the compressed file. The source might be in the .LBR distribution, but (of
course) it was in LZH format and thus totally useless to me.

(BTW, I found that the de-ark program's Z-80 version also died on the Osborne,
but the 8080 version works just fine.  Yes, the Osborne *does* have a Z-80 in
it...)
