      I just downloaded MRbackup 3.3.   The docs say that the utilities
menu provides the amiga-equivalent of unix COMPRESS, supporting the full
range from 12 to 16 bit compression.  IT warns that 16 bit compression takes
a lot of time, and a LOT of memory.  MRbackup stores files in the .z format
when it does backups.  You can then use the MRbackup to extract them or
compress others.
