- Well ... the right newsgroup for this is comp.unix.manpages :) !!

- You can access these files with the uncompress or compress -d command on UNIX-systems.
- compress has been ported to many other systems, including VMS, Amiga-Dos and probably MS-Dos.
- If you are using a UNIX system try 'man compress' to get more information on that.
