There is a version of 16-bit uncompress available for download on The
Consultants' Exchange BBS in the unix files area that will run 
in 256K of RAM.  I have sent a copy of the source code to the original
poster.  If anyone else needs a copy, the name of the file is pcuncomp.arc.
You'll find the phone number in the .signature.
