The official Unix version of compress/uncompress is available from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [192.88.110.20]. We obtained this directly from the author. The MS-DOS port uses the same source as the Unix version (with ifdefs, of course). Directory PD1: Filename Type Length Date Description ============================================== COMP430D.ZIP B 20241 901013 Unix-compatible 16bit compress/uncompress/zcat COMP430S.ZIP B 70872 910224 C src: Unix-compat. 16-bit compress/uncompress If you had downloaded the SIMTEL20 msdos file list you would have had this information. PLEASE download pd1:SIMIBM.ARC (comma-delimited) or SIMLIST.ARC (text formatted) I spend a lot of time updating these files on a weekly basis. What good is offering an index if nobody uses it? If you are in Australia or New Zealand, you'll find SIMTEL20 files mirrored on sol.deakin.oz.au. In North America the mirror site is wuarchive.wustl.edu. In Finland, the mirror site is nic.funet.fi.
