Tried all of the above at: http://www.onelook.com/

I was suspecting the right word was non(-)compressible, but none of the
following turned up anything:

Non-Compressable
Non-compressable
Noncompressable
Non-Compressible
Non-compressible
Noncompressible
Un-Compressable
Un-compressable
Uncompressable
Un-Compressible
Un-compressible
Uncompressible

or, for that matter:

compressable

What did generate a response was

COMPRESSIBLE

and here is the response [query it generated was
"http://www.onelook.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/bware/dofind2.cgi?word=compressible&type=type_g";
-- I wonder if that answers the thread about Unix lines of code on more than
one line of a document?]
