- DECODING THIS CHART: This chart has been compacted to fit into 80 columns
- so it can be viewed on-line. The first column is the name of the compression/
- archiving technique. The next field is the file extension given to the
- resulting file. After that are 5 columns each for a different operating system.
- Each one of these consists of the name of the file/program to undo the given
- compression/archiving style and a letter that tells where the file/program may
- be obtained. All symbols and letters are decoded at the bottom portion of this
- file.

-
- JPEG - source (Free code) is available in
- ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v?.tar.Z. Supports conversion
- between JPEG "JFIF" format and image files in PBMPLUS PPM, Utah RLE,
- Truevision Targa, and GIF file formats. Contact for more info:
- Dr. Thomas G. Lane, organizer, Independent JPEG Group
- Internet: jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net
- Current version (1/93) is v4.
-
- PKZIP 2.04g is shareware. The Encryption version is freely
- exportable to all countries except Cuba,Iran,Iraq,North Korea, the
- police or military of South Africa, Syria, and Vietnam. (by order of
- the US Government)
-
- Some uuencode/uudecode programs are able to read xxencode files.
-
- Stuffit Lite 3.0 is the replacement version of Stuffit
- Classic 1.6 for Macintosh. Stuffit Lite is shareware, $25. Stuffit
- Deluxe is the commercial version from Aladdin Software.
- Stuffit Expander 3.0.1 is a free version from Aladdin that can
- decompress most Macintosh compression schemes. It is available in
- the same place as other Mac decompression products.
-
- VMARC, available with the command "TELL LISTSERV AT RPIECS GET VMARC
- PACKAGE" from a CMS machine, will decode any CMS terse program. The
- PC version of terse is a commercial program available from IBM
- directly.
-
- There is a portable 'ZIP' that goes along with unzip50p1 that is
- available from wuarchive and other mirrors in the same places as
- unzip. (see (B) above)
- WizUnzip, WINUNZ20.ZIP in the WINDOWS3 dir on
- wuarchive (B), is a MS Windows 3 version of Unzip50p1.
-
- GZIP, the GNU Zip-like utility, is available from prep.ai.mit.edu.
- Current version is 1.2.2 (16 June 93). A VMS version is available
- as follows: (this has binaries for VMS for VAX and AXP)
- To get gzip via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu, you'll need:
-
- [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE or UNZIP.ALPHA_EXE
- [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]GZIP-1-2-2.ZIP
-
- To get it via e-mail, send the following commands in the body of a
- mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:
-
- SEND GZIP-1-2-2
- SEND FILESERV_TOOLS
-
-
- There is a set of translators that will allow Stuffit Deluxe to read
- btoa, UUencoded files, zip, pack, tar, MacBinary, and others. They are in
- sumex-aim.stanford.edu:/info-mac/utils/stuffit-deluxe-translators.hqx.
-
- When using tar.exe for PC's, the order of option flags is important.
- For extraction, use tar -xvf <filename>.
-
- ARC : From SEA, ARC 6.02 is the latest widespread shareware release.
- It is available at A (ftp.cso.uiuc.edu).
- Also, SEA has ARC 7.10, but it is commercial, not shareware.
- (see note at bottom)
-
- When using binscii.exe for an Apple II, there are different file extensions
- depending on the type of file being changed.
-
- BinHexed files (with the extension .hqx) can be UnBinHexed with BinHex 4.0 or
- Stuffit. BinHex5.0 format is a MacBinary format, while BinHex 4.0 files
- are ASCII format.
-
- The files listed are only supposed to uncompress/unarchive.
- To compress/archive, further software may be needed.
-
- USAGE NOTES:
-
- There are certain "standard" combinations of compression used:
- unix - .tar.Z
- (often this will be .taz for PC's)
- unix - tar.Z.btoa (abbrev. to .TZB sometimes) (aka "tarmail")
-
- mac - .sit.hqx
- - these must be undone in order starting at the end of the name
-
- Sometimes an archive may be self-extracting. These will look like normal
- executable programs. Simply run them to undo the archive.
-
- LZEXE (PC), PKLITE(PC), Imploder(Amiga), and PowerPacker(Amiga)
- are executable compressors.
- They compress an executable file and attach an uncompressing header so that
- the file can still be executed while in compressed form.
- The listed programs for these utilities compress files, in order to uncompress
- a file with these types of compression, just execute them.
-
- DIET (PC) is a TSR program that compresses and decompresses both
- executables and data files as needed.
