There's no reason why not, WHEN I get the unbatcher working. I'm almost
tempted to say "here's the source and the run-only interpretor".

I've tracked down all the bugs and got all but one killed. The only one I
can't seem to remove is during the program exit, and that only affects the
compiled code. It seems to be in the GFA Basic v_clsvwk() code, but since
the same routine is called in the header reader and compressor progs, I'm
not sure if there's something else happening before hand.

I'm still working on it, and I'll let you know when I've got it sorted out.

Then comes the really hard part, writing the docs ;-)
