Ouch.  800 bytes.  Forget it.

Get LZEXE or PKLITE from Simtel20.. much cheaper even with the shareware
registration fee, and also MUCH better products.  More like 50-70% compression
and less than a couple hundred bytes for the decompression logic.

Where have you been for the past year, anyway ?     :)
