I would like to DOWNLOAD it while it's compressed and then de-compress it here on my Mac at home. The 'compress command uses Lempel-Ziv to compress the file then slaps a '.Z' on it. Are there any programsthat are specificially designed to un-pack lempel-ziv type files? Stuffit HAS Lempel-Ziv, but it doesn't recoginze the text file, and changing it to a SIT! format just crashes the system. Urg! If there is such a program, somebody MAIL it to me! Or at least tell me 'bout it. Thanks!
