/usr/bin contains tar, bin, and compress on my system, of which
only compress is dynamically linked according to ldd.   /stand
doesn't contain compress.

/usr/bin/compress:
	-lc.3 => /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0 (0x801d000)

I tried putting compress in /home/ftp/bin and in /home/ftp/usr/bin,
with the associated library in /home/ftp/lib and /home/ftp/usr/lib,
but "get junk.tar.Z" still doesn't work--it creates a 0 byte file,
even with ftpcompress changed to /usr/bin for .Z.
However "get junk.tar.gz" does work.
