	Can you believe this guy? Look at the string of Unix sites he
	pipes his "note" through and he's got the audacity to talk about
	his little problems. Somebody tell him that every one of the
	archiver programs which he swears by uses "compress" as at
	least on of it's compaction methods. Maybe he doesn't know
	about crunching and squashing, but is ignorance an excuse?
