[comp.os.vms] Compress for VAX/VMS

SJKAPUR@CCMAIL.SUNYSB.EDU (Sanjay Kapur) (07/04/88)

A UNIX compatible compress is available on any of the recent VAX SIG tapes.

It is called LZW for Lempel-Zwi(Sp?) compression.  I have successfully
used it to compress all types of VMS files.  It preserves all the VMS
file attributes by default but can also make files for export to a Unix
system.

The VAX SIG tapes have quite a few items compressed with this method.
