Why doesn't this work on a 3B1?  I tried it, and the compress'd files look
like:

$ od -x file.Z
0000000 1f9d 9067 c8bc 8153 c68d 8e04 08d9 a471
...
	^^^^ ^^
The magic # is the same, and the "bit-mode" is also the same... it just
doesn't work on the UNIX PC/3B1.

Also here's another entry .. (maybe I'm stretching things a bit much)

0	string		From 		mail file
                            ^ - note this is a "space" and then a tab.
