BL>   If I remove the cunbatch line *both* my gzip and compress.exe say
it
BL> is a stuffed file. If I compress a file using my compress (without
BL> the cunbatch line), then both gzip and compress handle it.

BL>   I have tried removing the cunbatch line several ways. First I
just
BL> took it out leaving the file shorter, then I overwrote it with
0x00,
BL> 0x20 and 0xFF. Nothing works.

BL>   This must mean that the cunbatch line is added in a sneaky way...
BL> *inside* the compressor. Something about the rest of the file knows
it
BL> should be there. 

I cant help but if it's any consolation I found the same thing when I
trying to look at the packets before I tossed them.  I find the source
for compress when I was looking for a copy on the internet - would you
like it?
