I am having trouble getting the source code.  I cannot get to the
home.t-online.de site for some reason, and I can't find it on
ftp.info-zip.org.  I have some actual Pocket PC devices I would like to
test this on if I could get the code.

Thanks,

Compiled beautifully on Linux with gcc 2.95.3 (not surprising) and
tested
103 random archives without any problems.

One thing to note:  the US LZW patent (Unisys flavor, anyway) expires
next month.  I believe the European and Japanese copies are still valid
for an additional year beyond that, and there's always the remote possi-
bility that IBM might try to assert their flavor, despite its
invalidity.
But it's something to keep in mind, anyway.  (I'd probably vote to keep
the status quo, since nobody much seems to care about unshrinking
anymore.)
