20 A note about .gz files: |
|
|
21 ---------------------- |
|
|
22 |
|
|
23 Files with names ending in `.gz' have been compressed with `gzip'. |
|
|
24 |
|
|
25 Unlike the compress utility, gzip is free of any known software |
|
|
26 patents and tends to compress better anyway. Gzip can uncompress |
|
|
27 `compress'-compressed files too, so you can install it as "uncompress" |
|
|
28 and use it to handle both types of files. |
|
|
29 |
|
|
30 The gzip program is available in the directory /pub/gnu in shar, tar, |
|
|
31 or gzipped tar format (for those who already have a prior version of |
|
|
32 gzip and want faster data transmission). It works on virtually every |
|
|
33 unix system, MSDOS, OS/2, and VMS. |
