I'd like be able to compress files before transferring them between a couple computers at my workplace. Unfortunately one of the two machines does not have a C compiler. Fortran is found on both machines. Would someone please direct me to a good data compression program in Fortran? I would greatly appreciate it. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My opinions may not be yours and they might not be mine. | | Van A.

At the moment it is not quite compatible with UNIX compress, but it will be. It is also a bit too slow, but there is a great scope for improvements. At this stage this is only the first version.
