  Hmmm, I don't see why this subject keeps coming up.  I don't use 286
Unix anymore, but I've been using 16 bit compress/uncompress on DOS for
years.  The name of the program is comp16.arc/zip, and the source is
probably compsrc.arc/zip, both available at grape.ecs.clarkson.edu
(128.153.13.196).  I believe the source code will compile on a Unix
system, too.  I have compressed/uncompressed files of at least 2
megabytes on an AT with about 550K free memory..  No problem at all.
