I have to apologize to CBM and Apple 2 owners: this compression
technique won't work on 8-bit computers, and probably not on 16-bit
computers as well: it uses a 32k dictionary size, and uses C++.  It is
also memory-intensive: the Win32 executable is of now 63k in length.
I need to convert some code to assembler for speed--I used C++ code
for testing.
