- A good place to start is the comp.compression FAQ.
-
- Locating the comp.compression FAQ:
- * The FAQ is posted often to comp.compression and should also be available
- on news.answers as "comp.compression Frequently Asked Questions".
- * The FAQ is also available by anonymous ftp on rtfm.mit.edu [18.72.1.58]
- in directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/compression-faq, files part1 and part2.
- * If you don't have FTP access, you can get the FAQ by a mail
- server. Send an email message to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu
- containing the command "help" (no quotes) for more information.
- * If all above REALLY fails, request the files from nevries@cc.ruu.nl
