Version for UNIX SVR4.2
gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement for 'compress'. Its main advantages over compress are much better compression and freedom from patented algorithms. The GNU Project uses it as the standard compression program for its system.
gzip is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License, a copy of which is provided under the name /opt/lib/COPYING. The latest version of the gzip sources can always be found in prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/gzip-*.tar* or any of the prep mirror sites. An MSDOS lha self-extracting exe is in gzip-msdos-*.exe. The Soloaris 2 executables are in gzip-solaris-*.tar. A VMS executable is available in ftp.spc.edu:[.macro32.savesets]gzip-1-*.zip (use [.macro32]unzip.exe to extract).
The package is provided as a tar archive.
Extract using:
tar xvf gzip*pkg*.tar su pkgadd -d `pwd`Online manual pages are provided in /opt/man/man1.
If you just want gzip on its own, there is also a file uncompressed called gzip.bin .
PLEASE NOTE: This package has only been tested on USL's UNIX SVR4.2 reference binary. No claims are made for suitability to other systems.
