Here is a chart that I have compiled. I is a listing of file compression/
archiving techniques available on PC, Mac, and Unix systems. As you can
see, it is by no means complete. If anyone has information that can be
used to fill in the question marks, it would be greatly appreciated. In
the future, the latest version can always be obtained via anonymous ftp at:
ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, cd ~mjones, get compression
Thank you in advance for any help. Questions and information can be sent to
