                              -----------

This patch fixes various bugs reported to the author.  I need a few
people to try the patch and make sure it is OK before it is posted.
When you sign up for the patch I will send you the parts to ncompress
as they were posted to CSR.

Here is a description of ncompress:

    This is version 4.2 of (N)compress (an improved version of compress
    4.1).

    Compress is a fast, simple LZW file compressor.  Compress does not
    have the highest compression rate, but it is one of the fastest
    programs to compress data.  Compress is the defacto standard in the
    UNIX community for compressing files.
