- Compress version 1.0
-
- This program is basically a nice front end to the
- compress/uncompress program. Execpt that the compress/uncompress code
- has been incorperated directly into the Compress program itself. No
- system() or execl() calls are done at all.
-
- The program will also allow you to decompress all files ending
- with .Z simply by double clicking on them.
-
- This program also provides a file compression service for any
- program that can paste file names into the NXFilenamePboard (namely
- Workspace Manager)
-
-
- Things to do.
-
- When a file is being compressed or decompressed no indication
- of how long it will take is given to the user. This needs to be added
- at some point in time.
-
-
- The compress code is taken from:
