This is one of those little throw-away things that normally
don't get posted.  It was pointed out to me recently that
we need to make an extra effort to get this kind of stuff
out, so here it is.

If you have a file(1) compatible with the one in sysVr3
adding the following lines to /etc/magic will make it
recognize compressed files.  I was motivated to add this
when I imported a bunch of files from BSD systems and the .Zs
all got lopped off.


0	short		40223		compressed data
>2	byte		<0200		- %d bits
>2	byte		0214		- 12 bits
>2	byte		0215		- 13 bits
>2	byte		0220		- 16 bits
