LZ: More RAM and compression.

If you could add more memory throught the link port, wouldn't it then
make sense to have
a compression program?  The external memory could act as the storage for
the compressed files while
the 85's memory could be used for the programs to be used.  I don't know
if 
in the end this would be an advantage, but I don't think either idea
(more RAM and compression)
should be abandoned yet.
