| I'm attempting to determine the compression format. I'm guessing
| it's pretty old (circa 90). The file extension is 'xx~' where xx is
| the first 2 letters of the extension. I have an example compressed
| and uncompressed file, but cannot determine the format. It's not
| compress or gzip. Anybody have any idea based on file extension? If
| you need an example file, I can post one online (I only have the
| before and after - no compression program).

You might give LZH and Phil Katz's PKUNZIP (MS-DOS utilities) a try. LZH
was also available on some *nix systems, if I recall correctly.
