The latest version of this program is 1.3, which I have. I believe it is
shareware (I have not yet really looked at it). I can check when I get home.
It would be nice for comp.binaries.atari.st, as it saves formatting info about
the disk it is crunching. Fairly good compacting algorithm too (from what I
hear).

I have no experience with the board game, but I can say that Battletech is
a very good game. I recomend it.
