The System III version of unpack and pcat has code for unpacking old
packed files lurking within, surrounded with "#ifdef pdp11" or the like.
For it to work on a 32 bit machine, some ints in the old unpacking code
have to be changed to shorts, but it's no big deal.

You have to rename the old packed files from *.p to *.z, but unpack is
smart enough to figure out what kind of packed file it is and unpack it
correctly.
