	   This is purely guesswork based on a lot of playing around with More
   Disk Space, but I'd bet that More 3.1 and MacTools 2.0 have been compressed
   with a product from Alysis called the Alysis Resource Compressor.

I don't know about MacTools, but I'm pretty sure that More uses VISE
compression. This is an on-the-fly compression that has been around
for quite some time, you can probably find an ad for it in old issues
of MacTutor.  As far as I know, VISE is for applications only; they
don't make a general system extension like Alysis.
