- I am looking for a way to transfer files from a Unix file
- system to a proprietary file system that have been compressed
- with unix "compress" (Sun OS).
-
- The "man" page says the following:
-
- DESCRIPTION
- compress reduces the size of the named files using adaptive
- Lempel-Ziv coding.
-
- Does anyone know where I can find a description of this algorithm?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Mike
