I've packed and crunched a few of these already.

On the .dsk on Asimov most of the games have already been packed or 
partially packed, some rather shoddily.  When I crunched those games they 
didn't compress as well.

[andi{at}andisteele ~/Working]$ dir33 ~/Apple/dlm.dsk

DISK VOLUME 254

  A 045 METEOR MULTIPLICATION
  A 040 MINUS MISSION
  A 026 ALIEN ADDITION

Alien Addition is the only game on the disk which was NOT packed as I 
acquired it from Asimov.  It also works better following my tweaks than 
the other two.  This is another reason I like to find pristine sources - 
they manipulate better.
