Question on ouroboros-uncompress.

  I'm trying to use ouroboros-uncompress to regenerate the input strings but it
  doesn't produce any output. The uncompression key starts on a new line and
  has adjacent numbers separated by a space character. There is a newline
  following the key.

  Can you please let me know if this is in the right format for
  ouroboros-uncompress to work?

It isn't; there needs to be a blank line between the compressed string and the
uncompression key.

  $ ./gen-strings -c7 | sort > in

  $ ./solaris-oc < in | tee ans | ./ouroboros-uncompress | sort > out

  $ diff in out

  $ cat ans

I've changed the assignment page to make this clear.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
