I don't know about a free copy, but if you buy the MKS toolkit (Unix
tools running under DOS) it includes uncompress

From MKS documentation for compress(1)
"This implementation of compress is limited to a maximum of 14 bit
compression"
The limit apparently also applies to uncompress, since I recieved an
error message when I tried to uncompress a file which utilized 16 bit
compression the other day.
Rumor has it there might be something on SIMTEL. I haven't looked.
