- @@@STARTPACK(gzip;GNU File Compression Utilities)
-
- <P>GZIP is fast becoming the de-facto standard for file compression
- under UNIX. Many programs can handle gzip'ed files, and most source
- code distributions come with the tar files compressed with gzip.
- gzip can produce files very much smaller than the standard compress
- utility, and you can control the level of compression you desire.
- The more you compress, the slower the compression (although decompression
- is very quick). No system is complete without this package.</P>
