Recently I asked about being able to work with unix .Z files on a GS and
received several useful answers.  I'd like to pursue the question of
whether there is a program that can create .Z (compressed) files on a
GS.  One response said there was a program in the archives.  On Brown
there are two files (89-01155 and 56) that purport to be compress.  Is
that what I am looking for?  The first one has a note "(needs shell)" --
does that mean I won't be able to run it from the Finder (I don't have
APW.)  A couple of other people pointed me to NuLib, but, if I
understand their messages that is a) still in beta, and b) only
available in C.  Anyone willing to compile it and ship me a copy?
(strangers need not volunteer.)
