Hi, y'all netlanders... I have compress and uncompress on my RT (running AIX 2.2.1), and would like to get compress/uncompress for my PS/2 (running AIX 1.1). I'm not sure (honest) where compress came from - whether it was part of AIX distribution or if someone got it off the net, but I would like to get it (source or binary) for AIX-PS/2. Another hint: when I run "strings compress", it looks similar (maybe identical) to "strings zcat", another tool on our system (but my AIX-PS/2 doesn't have zcat either :-( . Can anyone help?

In case you are worried, I have already compiled them on aixps2s and they work fine. compress, uncompress and zcat are all links to the same program, so if you get one, you have them all. /ji

Uncompress and zcat are both linked to compress. Compress is a (I think) public domain program available from a number of places. It's onn the BSD user contribution tape and I think it is also available via anonymous ftp from uunet, but I'n not certain. Opinions are strictly my own, Allan D.
