[Coco] OS-9 compression programs. What's available?

[L. Curtis Boyle]

Are these text files or binaries? Creating them under OS-9, the LHA/XLH combo is probably the best, and compresses both text and binaries. ZIP on a PC (based on the PKZIP 2.04g algorithm) can be unzipped on a Coco/OS9 system with the UNZIP/FUNZIP combination. 

i should mention that both LHA and UNZIP need >128K to run.
