PACK condenses text files using a variable-length bit encoding scheme to
create a binary file which is typically 25 to 50% smaller than the
original text. These savings are only slightly better than half those
achieved using the "crunch" and "spindle" programs, but on the other
hand PACK is somewhat easier to use. PACKed files are not compatible
with SPINDL. The PACK program supplies its own documentation.
