[batch file that copies gzip.exe or comp16.exe, as appropriate, 
to compress.exe omitted]

This strikes me as being a bit inefficient and, under DOS, will 
cause the file space on your disk drive to become fragmented 
quite quickly.

markd@bushwire.apana.org.au (Mark Delany) suggested some 
gyrations with the MS-DOS PATH environment variable but there is 
another way. Instead of copying the files you simply rename them, 
run UUXQT, then rename the file back to the original name. The 
same thing can be done to create the news batches for your 
different feeds.
