- Say, it looks like KUR missed this one. His port in pub/os2/2.0/gnu/ does
- have this problem. However, there is an earlier DOS/OS2 port by
- Doug Graham followed by Kai Uwe Rommel:
-
- compress, v 4.2 (DOS, OS/2) 91/02/12 23:49:00 doug/kur Release $
- BITS = 16
-
- This port works under a rename (i.e., 'uncompress' = 'compress -d').
- I have also seen a port of 4.3, but it doesn't understand long names.
