No, because I can't find the original compressor.  No need to document it; it 
was easily the most esoteric format I've run across (well, second was that 
1-bit "halftoning" thing that I can't wrap my noggin around).  But if you look 
at the assembler source I sent, it's very well commented and gives you an idea 
of how it works.  I seem to recall that the quality was really great for 
speech but not so hot with music (which is common of most ADPCM, really).
