[comp.sys.apollo] COMPACT -- Have COMPRESS but Apollo has COMPACT

davel@cup.portal.com (02/04/88)

I have the unix compact program on an apollo, and a compress program on
an IBM PC and SUN.

How do I unCOMPRESS files on an apollo?

Any sources or apollo binarys out there?

Thanks,

You can get the source from the standard news distribution. Ask your
system administrator.

There is a copy of a program called "compress" which was
ported to the Apollos from a generic Unix system in the
ADUS library. This program both compresses and uncompresses
files. I have it running on our Alliant FX/1 (Apollo DSP9000)
and our Apollos. You can get a copy of the program via e-mail
by sending the message "send compress from apollo" to
"netlib@anl-mcs.arpa" (Argonne National Labs online software
library).

compress and lots of other great stuff is available from the 
ADUS free software library.  You need to join ADUS, but that's 
free.  The address is:
