The program is called "compress". It is available on many systems.
The variation called "uncompress" will recover the original file.

Compress is available from many archive sites, as C source code,
for those who don't have the command on their system. If you don't
know how to get to any archives, first ask your system
administrator for help. If that does not work, try sending me
e-mail.
