- The compression program is called "Freeze"

-
- It's available at pindarus.cs.uiuc.edu in the /pub/apple2/gno subdirectory.
- As you can probably guess... Freeze works under GNO. I don't know if it
- works under the ORCA shell.
-
- However, I have used Freeze with GNO and I have noticed increased compression
- as opposed to Compress. However, I stick with compress since we have it on
- my school account and it works on both.
-
- Good luck,
