I asked a colleague of mine in MIS (Management Information
Systems) about data compression, since I was myself
curious; sorry this comes a little after the original
discussion, but I thought an outside input might be of interest.

For DOS machines, I'd consider only stacker. I say this because
I've installed a lot of DOS software recently, and all the products
anticipate that you might have stacker. In other words, it works
with a lot of other software: you don't have to waste time tweaking
your tools, and you can get on with your job. ....
As for Macs.... Don't know. I have little to do with them anymore.
I just couldn't keep up with everything, and business school texts
are so DOS-dominated....

For the latest words on social meanings of pronouns, look at Peter
Muhlhausler & Rom Harre, *Pronouns and People*, Blackwell 1990.
The European language with the most complete system is, of course,
Portuguese, where there is a large (possibly open-ended) set of status-linked
third-person address forms.
