VH2 error

[David A. Scott]

Someone who may want to stay anonymouse reported an error on VH2
its the huffman compressor that grabs 2 bytes at a time. It does
have ending problems for some files. Just thought I would let people
know. I am not perfect.

When I moded the code to work for 16 bit symbols I used byte IO
to and from the original file to be compressed or decompressed. I
used several flags. This was an overcomlication. Know all IO is
treated as a bit file and bit_byts handles the overhead. It should
now work for all files no matter if they are an even number of
bytes or an odd number of bytes.

Hopefully for any file X
uncompress( compress( X ) ) = X
and
compress( uncompress( X ) ) = X
