A further unimportant bug was noticed: When the program is used with
a "-" arguement, it accepts standard input as the user's reply to
the programs prompt for y/n confirmation, so, for example
$ echo yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss | compress yyy - >/tmp/y
overwrite yyy.Z? compress: yyy: No such file or directory
$ d /tmp/y
32 -rw-r--r-- 1 jojo wheel - 0 Sep 4 11:19:35 2005 /tmp/y
instead of sending the compressed string to /tmp/y, as advertized.
