- This is the bare-bones executable archive needed to get gzip running.
-
- It was created with the amiga/Makefile.sasc within the gzip1.2.3.tar.Z
- archive with no modifications whatsoever using SAS/C 6.3.
-
- The entire archive (with source et al) can be found at a number of
- difference gnu sites (use archie). Quote from README, "The latest version
- of gzip are always available by ftp in prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu, or in any
- of the prep mirror sites..."
-
- The following notice was extracted from the amiga/Makefile.sasc:
-
- # Makefile for gzip (GNU zip) -*- Indented-Text -*-
- # This Makefile is for SAS/C 6.3 on the Amiga
- # Don't use it with SAS/C 6.2 or earlier versions. These versions will
- # produce incorrect code for trees.c because of a bug in the optimizer.
- # Made by Carsten Steger (carsten.steger@informatik.tu-muenchen.de)
-
- # Some notes on gzip for the Amiga:
- # Due to a strange implementation of the RAM-Disk on Commodore's part
- # you should not use gzip -r on a directory in the RAM-Disk. To zip all
- # files in a directory 'dir' in the RAM-Disk use something like
- # gzip ram:dir/#? ram:dir/#?/#? ...
- # where the number of '#?'s reflects the depth of the directory 'dir'.
- #
- # Alas, the program has it's full functionality only if you have
- # Kickstart 2.0 or higher installed. This affects the expansion of
- # wildcards and the preservation of file access times. You should use
- # a shell that does wildcard expansion under Kickstart 1.3.
-
- Enjoy!
