Hi all,

 Pardon me for posting to a group that I don't
regularly follow, but...

 A laboratory in Europe is using ftp to access
files from our unix machine. Due to their tenuous
connections to the internet, it takes ~2 hrs to
transfer a 5M file. I would like to compress the
files to save time, but they would then need to
uncompress the files.

 Is there a version of compress that exists for
the HP3000 (I think that's it, I know it's a
non-unix machine.) Are there any archive sites
for HP3000 software?

 Please email or post.

 Thanks,

glenn
