Is there an uncompress for the Mac around? I need to compress on Unix and then uncompress on a mac. As a side note, is x/y/zmodem faster than kermit for file transfers? If so, are these available for the unix side? Thanks "And I must add to my list.

Current version is 3.2 and it's available via anon ftp to you-know-it sumex-aim.stanford.edu. check out info-mac/util section. But Unix compress has a problem compressing MacBinary format but it does its job: At least text is fine. I'd prefer arc/zip because you have to tar and compress if you need to archive, not only to compress. Unix has unsit but not vice versa. FUI, tar is also availabe at the same place I mentioned. ---------------- ____ __ __ + Dan The "I grok therefore I am God" Man ||__||__| + E-mail: dankg@ocf.berkeley.edu ____| ______ + Voice: +1 415-549-6111 | |__|__| + USnail: 1730 Laloma Berkeley, CA 94709 U.S.A |___ |__|__| + Oxymora: Usable MS-DOS, Multitasking Mac, Secure Unix, |____|____ + rec.humor posters without sense of humor, \_| | + Christian Science, and English grammer
