I remember reading this file somewhere...it was satirizing either
Microsoft or IBM, and in a very serious manner, described a revolutionary
new compression program that would reduce any file to a size of one
byte. However, in order to decompress the file, a larger file containing
all of the information of the original file needed to be attached to it.
