u16 - 16 bit LZW uncompress for the IBM PC, version 1.2
Written for the IBM PC by tahorsley@ssd.harris.com (Tom Horsley).
u16 [-H] [files...]
-H Print this message and exit.
Uncompresses each input file and writes result to stdout. With no
input file specified, reads stdin. Probably requires 270-280K of free
memory to run.
NOTE: this is kind of like zcat, but it does not try to stick any .Z's
on the ends of file names.

[ Following description is a composite from two messages -- R.D. ]
u16 can decompress files compressed with the "compress" program and
handles 16 bit compression.
It will need somewhere around 280K to run.
Type "u16 -H" for a help message.
Version 1.2 fixes some bugs that 1.1 had uncompressing multiple files.
(I may get this right someday :-).

This is a welcome program because MS-DOS users with limited memory
often get stuck with 16-bit-"compress" format files that they cannot
uncompress easily.
This version of u16 replaces an earlier version posted here that had
some bugs.
