In net.sources.mac <678@aicchi.UUCP> David B. (Ben) Burch writes about stf,
a compression program that gives, for his examples, compression of 16% and 18%.
Has anyone yet ported the Unix compress program to the Macintosh?  That program
is getting to be very common on Unix systems and in my experience tends to give
about 50% compression on text.
