[comp.sys.att] File Compression Software

mw3s+@andrew.cmu.edu (Martin Weiss) (04/07/88)

What are some good file compression programs for an AT&T 6300?  I have a
machine with a 10M hard disk and am beginning to be pressed for space.  Unix
has a "compress" command that does Huffman coding on the file.  Is there
anything comparable for and MSDOS machine?  Thanks in advance.

The BSD UNIX source to ARC was posted to comp.sources.unix.  You should be
able to get it from the comp.sources.unix archive site (j.cc.purdue.edu).

I have ported it to run under Sysv, and would be happy to get you a copy.
If you are interessted, please reply stating what medium you would like it
transfered over (UUCP, anonymous FTP, uuencoded compressed archived mail, etc.)
