There are a huge number of Squeeze and Unsqueeze (usually abbreviated
SQ and USQ) programs written for the IBM PC in languages such as Pascal,
C, and assembler.  Most of them follow the same, standardized format for
compressed files.  They create binary files considerably smaller than
the original files, and undoubtedly the C or Pascal versions could be
easily converted for use on a Unix computer.  Once the file is squeezed,
it can be transmitted with an Xmodem or Kermit program.

If you want to get some SQ and USQ programs for the PC, I suggest calling
Gene Plantz's bulletin board in Chicago.
