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

[Robert Gault]

  LHA does not provide enough compression. It seems that using Drivewire and creating a custom OS-9 
disk image just large enough to hold the data files is the way to go, which I have done.
  Winzip was then used to compress the .dsk images to smaller sizes.
