It's on one of the early Fish disks, i.e. < 50. Make sure you get the updated version, rather then the very first one, which I believe can't handle 16 bit compression, the Unix standard.

I personly use our suns to uncompress files with the uncompress command. I merely looked through a fish disk catalog for compress/uncompress and passed the information to the "OEYO8729@TREARN.BITNET (Cem TURGAY)". I wanst being lazy and not simply not looking in the documentation.! Regards... Vlod cs_b152@ux.king.ac.uk
