  Hey, all...The first compression program has a rather
stupid error in the remarks (more like preamble) section.
I failed to divide by 8 bits when I described a 640 x 480
pixel screen as requiring over "1.2 MBytes of files" when
stored using GET/BSAVE...It's more like 153,000 bytes...I
should sell bridges...|-}
