Please take another look at what I posted and sent to you.  The reason
I wrote the code was to improve transmission time at 2400 baud.  It
works.  The data is compressed at some point before transmission, and
is transmitted in compressed form.  It does not get uncompressed until
it arrives at the PostScript printer, safely past the serial link.
