I have posted (or actually will in about 5 minutes) to comp.sources.mac the
sources for an MPW tool to do unix-compatible compression/decompression. You
need MPW both to compile and to use this program.   Included in the sources
is a library that should make it very simple to add compression/decompression
to just about any program which writes/reads files sequentially.  Maybe
somebody can take this library and wrap a stand-alone user interface around
it.  Since I have MPW, I can't quite get motivated to do that...
