It seemed no matter what I did bzip2 was never satiated with amount of free
memory. The solution? Switch to gzip... requires far, far, FAR less memory
for decompression; the penalty? 40Kbytes more on the diskette, but there was
more than enough room on the 1.722 diskette. Perhaps there could be an
alternate, .tar.gz set of addon diskettes for low memory machines?
