The scripts have been unlocked for many years, ever since I first
released it as Public Domain back in 2002.
The drag-n-drop worked on Mac last time I used it there a few weeks ago,
but now that I'm spending more time on Linux I tested it in Ubuntu and
it didn't work. Very old code, using very old syntax.
I just made a quick update to it and posted both compressed and
uncompressed copies, compatible with LC 5.5 and later:

It's public domain, and there's not that much code there anyway - knock
yourself out. :)
I made it only because back in those days I was gzipping a lot of files
for manually posting to servers. These days I tend to write publishing
scripts that do the zipping and then upload with rync, so I don't use
this much anymore.
But it's nice to see at least Jacque finds it helpful, and if anyone's
interested in using any part of that for a full-features
compression/decompression tool it'd be good to see it.
