How strange.. I have no fewer than three (3) independant 16-bit uncompress
programs on my MSDOS machine, all of which were easy to obtain from SIMTEL20.

Two of them even handle the older 12-bit style as well.  Also, I have two
versions of programs to handle tar files, and a multitude of UU/XX decoders,
again, all from SIMTEL20.

If you can send/receive email, you can get them from a LISTSERV near you.
