- We recently purchased the Workstation Developers Kit for ISC UNIX 3.0. They
- included compress, uncompress, and zcat in the directory /usr/lbin. Here's
- the problem. I would like to get some of the FSF software (GCC, EMACS, etc.)
- loaded, but to do so, I have to uncompress the archives. The bogus uncompress
- that they gave us barfs when it I try to uncompress large files - it says
- the file is "too big". Can someone please tell me where I can find the source
- code to a replacement that will work? I found a couple of replacements, but
- they keep refusing to work also, giving me error messages that say things
- like "write error on output". Please respond via email as our not-too-swift
- system administrator has turned off our newsfeed until he comes back in
- January. They recently have been messing with our domain name, so if mail
- to jshumate@wrdis01.robins.af.mil bounces, try jshumate@wrdis01.af.mil.
- Thank you for any all help you can give.
