This suite of programs appeared in 8BS-49, early versions of which had some of the files missing. Late addition... Steven informs me that whilst working on a ROM version of these compression/decompression programs, he has come across a couple of minor bugs in the original programs: Make sure that you choose fewer 'length' bits than 'offset' bits when compressing. Don't try to compress very short files (around 16 bytes). LZSSD doesn't set the execution address.           Title Mini Word Processor Author K2F (J.Davis) Use Double Height Message File Name MiniWP MiniMSG Language Basic Full and detailed info in the program.
