- Does anyone know of any software for UN*X, 386BSD or otherwise,
- that does on-the-fly compression? Thinking of looking into
- writing my own, or getting some 386BSD people together to help,
- as soon as I get my new machine built with enough HD space to
- re-compile 386BSD... This would be really nice for people with
- floppies, or even people who want to save on tapes.
-
- I realize that this isn't the standard UN*X way to do backups,
- but a compressing dump program would be really useful to students.
