For the moment I have (several) 16-BIT COMPRESS THAT WORK ON XENIX/286.
Thanks to all the people who have replied to the message.
I've got proposals to send floppies or to use ftp, patches, sh-archives,
un archived sources, man pages, usefull hints, etc...
I've collected all good parts of all replies and here they are.
I've tried it at home and it DOES actually a 16 bit compression !!!
Kris.

/* $Log: compress.c,v $
* Revision 4.0 85/07/30 12:50:00 joe
* Removed ferror() calls in output routine on every output except first.
* Prepared for release to the world.
*
* Revision 3.6 85/07/04 01:22:21 joe
* Remove much wasted storage by overlaying hash table with the tables
* used by decompress: tab_suffix[1<<BITS], stack[8000]. Updated USERMEM
* computations. Fixed dump_tab() DEBUG routine.
*
* Revision 3.5 85/06/30 20:47:21 jaw
* Change hash function to use exclusive-or. Rip out hash cache. These
* speedups render the megamemory version defunct, for now. Make decoder
* stack global. Parts of the RCS trunks 2.7, 2.6, and 2.1 no longer apply.
*
* Revision 3.4 85/06/27 12:00:00 ken
* Get rid of all floating-point calculations by doing all compression ratio
* calculations in fixed point.
*
* Revision 3.3 85/06/24 21:53:24 joe
* Incorporate portability suggestion for M_XENIX. Got rid of text on #else
* and #endif lines. Cleaned up #ifdefs for vax and interdata.
*
* Revision 3.2 85/06/06 21:53:24 jaw
* Incorporate portability suggestions for Z8000, IBM PC/XT from mailing list.
* Default to "quiet" output (no compression statistics).
*
* Revision 3.1 85/05/12 18:56:13 jaw
* Integrate decompress() stack speedups (from early pointer mods by McKie).
* Repair multi-file USERMEM gaffe. Unify 'force' flags to mimic semantics
* of SVR2 'pack'. Streamline block-compress table clear logic. Increase
* output byte count by magic number size.
*
* Revision 3.0 84/11/27 11:50:00 petsd!joe
* Set HSIZE depending on BITS. Set BITS depending on USERMEM. Unrolled
* loops in clear routines. Added "-C" flag for 2.0 compatibility. Used
* unsigned compares on Perkin-Elmer. Fixed foreground check.
*
* Revision 2.7 84/11/16 19:35:39 ames!jaw
* Cache common hash codes based on input statistics; this improves
* performance for low-density raster images. Pass on #ifdef bundle
* from Turkowski.
*
* Revision 2.6 84/11/05 19:18:21 ames!jaw
* Vary size of hash tables to reduce time for small files.
* Tune PDP-11 hash function.
*
* Revision 2.5 84/10/30 20:15:14 ames!jaw
* Junk chaining; replace with the simpler (and, on the VAX, faster)
* double hashing, discussed within. Make block compression standard.
*
* Revision 2.4 84/10/16 11:11:11 ames!jaw
* Introduce adaptive reset for block compression, to boost the rate
* another several percent. (See mailing list notes.)
*
* Revision 2.3 84/09/22 22:00:00 petsd!joe
* Implemented "-B" block compress. Implemented REVERSE sorting of tab_next.
* Bug fix for last bits. Changed fwrite to putchar loop everywhere.
*
* Revision 2.2 84/09/18 14:12:21 ames!jaw
* Fold in news changes, small machine typedef from thomas,
* #ifdef interdata from joe.
*
* Revision 2.1 84/09/10 12:34:56 ames!jaw
* Configured fast table lookup for 32-bit machines.
* This cuts user time in half for b <= FBITS, and is useful for news batching
* from VAX to PDP sites. Also sped up decompress() [fwrite->putc] and
* added signal catcher [plus beef in writeerr()] to delete effluvia.
*
* Revision 2.0 84/08/28 22:00:00 petsd!joe
* Add check for foreground before prompting user. Insert maxbits into
* compressed file. Force file being uncompressed to end with ".Z".
* Added "-c" flag and "zcat". Prepared for release.
*
* Revision 1.10 84/08/24 18:28:00 turtlevax!ken
* Will only compress regular files (no directories), added a magic number
* header (plus an undocumented -n flag to handle old files without headers),
* added -f flag to force overwriting of possibly existing destination file,
* otherwise the user is prompted for a response. Will tack on a .Z to a
* filename if it doesn't have one when decompressing. Will only replace
* file if it was compressed.
*
* Revision 1.9 84/08/16 17:28:00 turtlevax!ken
* Removed scanargs(), getopt(), added .Z extension and unlimited number of
* filenames to compress. Flags may be clustered (-Ddvb12) or separated
* (-D -d -v -b 12), or combination thereof. Modes and other status is
* copied with copystat(). -O bug for 4.2 seems to have disappeared with
* 1.8.
*
* Revision 1.8 84/08/09 23:15:00 joe
* Made it compatible with vax version, installed jim's fixes/enhancements
*
* Revision 1.6 84/08/01 22:08:00 joe
* Sped up algorithm significantly by sorting the compress chain.
*
* Revision 1.5 84/07/13 13:11:00 srd
* Added C version of vax asm routines. Changed structure to arrays to
* save much memory. Do unsigned compares where possible (faster on
* Perkin-Elmer)
*
* Revision 1.4 84/07/05 03:11:11 thomas
* Clean up the code a little and lint it. (Lint complains about all
* the regs used in the asm, but I'm not going to "fix" this.)
*
* Revision 1.3 84/07/05 02:06:54 thomas
* Minor fixes.
*
* Revision 1.2 84/07/05 00:27:27 thomas
* Add variable bit length output.

* TAG( main )
*
* Algorithm from "A Technique for High Performance Data Compression",
* Terry A. Welch, IEEE Computer Vol 17, No 6 (June 1984), pp 8-19.
*
* Usage: compress [-dfvc] [-b bits] [file ...]
* Inputs:
* -d: If given, decompression is done instead.
*
* -c: Write output on stdout, don't remove original.
*
* -b: Parameter limits the max number of bits/code.
*
* -f: Forces output file to be generated, even if one already
* exists, and even if no space is saved by compressing.
* If -f is not used, the user will be prompted if stdin is
* a tty, otherwise, the output file will not be overwritten.
*
* -v: Write compression statistics
*
* file ...: Files to be compressed. If none specified, stdin
* is used.
* Outputs:
* file.Z: Compressed form of file with same mode, owner, and utimes
* or stdout (if stdin used as input)
*
* Assumptions:
* When filenames are given, replaces with the compressed version
* (.Z suffix) only if the file decreases in size.
* Algorithm:
* Modified Lempel-Ziv method (LZW). Basically finds common
* substrings and replaces them with a variable size code. This is
* deterministic, and can be done on the fly. Thus, the decompression
* procedure needs no input table, but tracks the way the table was built.

* algorithm D (vol. 3, sec. 6.4) along with G. Knott's relatively-prime
* secondary probe. Here, the modular division first probe is gives way
* to a faster exclusive-or manipulation. Also do block compression with
* an adaptive reset, whereby the code table is cleared when the compression
* ratio decreases, but after the table fills. The variable-length output
* codes are re-sized at this point, and a special CLEAR code is generated
* for the decompressor. Late addition: construct the table according to
* file size for noticeable speed improvement on small files. Please direct
* questions about this implementation to ames!jaw.

COMPRESS(1) XENIX Programmer's Manual COMPRESS(1)
NAME
compress, uncompress, zcat - compress or expand data
SYNOPSIS
compress [-cdfivV] [-b bits] [name ...]
uncompress [-cfivV] [name ...]
zcat [-iV] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION
Compress reduces the size of the named files using
adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. Whenever possible, each
file is replaced by one with the extension .Z or XZ,
while keeping the same modification times. If no
files are specified, the standard input is
compressed to the standard output. Compressed files
can be restored to their original form using
uncompress or zcat.
The -c option makes compress/uncompress write to the
standard output; no files are changed. The
nondestructive behavior of zcat is identical to that
of uncompress -c.
The -d (decompress) option makes compress restore
its input files to their normal form. Uncompress is
identical to compress with the -d option specified.
The -f option will force compression of "name". This
is useful for compressing an entire directory, even
if some of the files do not actually shrink. If -f
is not given, the user is prompted as to whether an
existing file should be overwritten.
The -i (image mode) option suppresses the
transformation of text lines from MS-DOS (CR-LF
delimited) form to UNIX (LF delimited) form during
compression, and suppresses the reverse
transformation during decompression.
The -v (verbose) option causes a message to be
printed, yielding the percentage of reduction for
each file compressed.
1
COMPRESS(1) XENIX Programmer's Manual COMPRESS(1)
The -V option causes the current version and compile
options to be printed on stderr.
Compress uses the modified Lempel-Ziv algorithm
popularized in "A Technique for High Performance
Data Compression", Terry A. Welch, IEEE Computer,
vol. 17, no. 6 (June 1984), pp. 8-19. Common
substrings in the file are first replaced by 9-bit
codes 257 and up. When code 512 is reached, the
algorithm switches to 10-bit codes and continues to
use more bits until the limit specified by the -b
flag is reached (default is the maximum for which
the program was built).
"Bits" must be between 9 and the lesser of 16, and
the limit imposed at compile-time. The MS-DOS
version of compress comes in two sizes. One has a
12-bit limit, and will run in a machine with 128K
bytes of available user memory. The other has a
16-bit limit, and requires about 450K bytes to run.
After the "bits" limit is attained, compress
periodically checks the compression ratio. If it is
increasing, compress continues to use the existing
code dictionary. However, if the compression ratio
decreases, compress discards the table of substrings
and rebuilds it from scratch. This allows the
algorithm to adapt to the next "block" of the file.
Note that the -b flag is omitted for uncompress,
since the "bits" parameter specified during
compression is encoded within the output, along with
a magic number to ensure that neither decompression
of random data nor recompression of compressed data
is attempted.
The amount of compression obtained depends on the
size of the input, the number of "bits" per code,
and the distribution of common substrings.
Typically, text such as source code or English is
reduced by 50-60%. Compression is generally much

better than that achieved by Huffman coding (as used
in SQ), and takes less time to compute.
Exit status is normally 0; if the last file is
larger after (attempted) compression, the status is
2; if an error occurs, exit status is 1.

DIAGNOSTICS
Usage: compress [-cdfivV] [-b maxbits] [file ...]
Invalid options were specified on the command
line.
Missing maxbits
Maxbits must follow -b.
file: not in compressed format
The file specified to UNCOMPRESS has not been
compressed.
file: compressed with xx bits, can only handle yy bits
"File" was compressed by a program that could
deal with more "bits" than the compress code on
this machine. Recompress the file with smaller
"bits".
file: already has xx suffix -- no change
The file is assumed to be already compressed
because the last two characters of its extension
are ".Z" or "XZ". Rename the file and try
again.
fn: part of filename extension will be replaced by XZ
File name, fn, contains at least two characters
in the "extension" field. The second and third
will be replaced by "XZ" in the compressed
file's name.
fn already exists; do you wish to overwrite fn?
Respond "y" if you want the output file, fn, to
be replaced; "n" if not.
Compression: xx.xx%
Percentage of the input saved by compression.
(Relevant only for -v.)
-- file unchanged
No savings is achieved by compression. The

input remains virgin.
BUGS
Although compressed files are compatible between
machines with large memory, -b12 should be used for
file transfer to architectures with a small process
data space (64KB or less, as exhibited by the DEC
PDP series, or the small MS-DOS version, for
example).
MS-DOS version 2 does not permit a program to
determine the name used to call it. As a result,
the aliases, uncompress and zcat, cannot be used.
They can be used under MS-DOS version 3, though the
actual file name for uncompress will be
"uncompre.exe".
MS-DOS does not support UNIX-style file links. As a
result, even though compress, uncompress and zcat
are all the same program, it (they) will have to be
stored three times, once under each of the three
names, in order to use them under MS-DOS version 3.
As explained in the previous paragraph, this is not
an option under MS-DOS version 2.
