I think someone on this group said something negative about LZW. But if
it reduces files by an appreciable amount I'd like to use it. I'd be
able to get more files on a CD. At the moment its about 13, sometimes
only 12. And the people I send them to had trouble; they were unable to
read one file on the last CD. I'll try it at once. I have about 100 to
send this week.

I don't know where you got that notion. LZW is a lossless
compression technique, so there won't be any image degradation.
And since the last LZW patents expired recently, there aren't
any problems there, either.
