gzip on PDP-11: not so simple

[Allison J Parent]

I find this situation funny as in the 8080/z80 (8 bit data 64kbyte address 
space) world there is LZH, Crunch, ARK, ARC, LBR... compressors and 
decompressors.  Atleast a handful are written in C.

Also PDP11 address space (no I&D) is 32kW... Instructions are always 
words so code can eat up a fair portion of the 64k bytes.
