Gord, for what it's worth, I'm taking a wild shot in the dark: Waren probably 
wants to compress Windows 95 (DMF 1.7Mb) disks to fit on a standard floppy. 
The problem is, the files are already compressed :-)
Unfortunately, Waren has done a poor job of communicating his problem / 
intentions, but my guess is that what he's really after is a copy program 
such as WinImage, which will handle the 1.7 Mb floppy format.
Cheers, Hans
