Hoff is talking about compression/expansion techniques available on OpenVMS over on this blog entry. Reading about DCX$ routines took me waaaaay back to when I was mostly writing utilities in MACRO-32. So for your reading pleasure/educational value, I have posted a zip file containing a standalone program that calls the DCX$ routines to allow you to perform compression or expansion of a file.
You can download the file from the the DCX section on the downloads page.
