If you used the comtype scanner you can ignore 95, 96 and few others, they are all false positives.
Don't waste your time with them :)

Anyway, just for information, scpack can be found in src/compression/scexpand.c and it's a text-oriented BPE (byte pair encoding) algorithm that "requires" a table, the original source code had a default table which is used when no table (dictionary) is specified.
