Hi, I am looking for a utility that will allow me to de/compress files in the UNIX-compress format. Thanks in advance Paul Vowles pvowles@comec.ec.uwa.oz.au

All in all, not a bad program, though it can be rather dumb at times. Seems MacCompress uses the filename to calculate a magic number when compressing under the "MacCompress" option. So if you if you rename the file, it won't uncompress it. I think the unix option works fine. I've tested it several times. --Jerry -- Jerry Frain -- Systems Programmer Kansas State University Department of Computing & Info Sciences Internet : jxf@cis.ksu.edu Manhattan, Kansas UUCP : ...!rutgers!ksuvax1!jxf

MacCompress 3.2, which is available from the sumex archives (probably in the util directory, but I'm not sure), will do just that.
