Here's what I got: http://fi.aminet.net/util/arc/

There's the source of bzip 0.21 you can download. It even compiles on
amd_64, you only need to comment out line 2706:


Bool notABogStandardFile ( Char* name )
{  
   IntNative      i;
   struct MY_STAT statBuf;

   i = MY_LSTAT ( name, &statBuf );
   if (i != 0) return True;
   //   if (MY_S_IFREG(statBuf.st_mode)) return False;
   return True;
}


Then compile with


# gcc -o bzip bzip.c -O3 -wall


and decompress your files with something like:


# cat test.bz |./bzip -d |less


Not ideal because it might not be reliable, but easy enough, and it
works so far :) I'll sure keep that source at hand now.
