Thanks Larry. I tried googling as per your suggestion,
and, 
wow....heavy duty geek-speak! :)

Way above my head, but interesting just the same. I
just 
sort of wanted to know how to use mscompress to
de-compress 
an exe.
Sort of like driving the car without knowing exactly
how every 
part functions. ;)

Here's a cool animation of the Lempel-Ziv encoding
algorithm 
doing it's thing:

I guess maybe, to quote a very wise fox, "those grapes
are 
probably much too sour anyway".

Best regards.
