Does anyone know of a dos utility which would allow a user to compress
and decompress files for de/compression on that holiest of holies, the
RS6000?
The System Administrators here will NOT allow gzip, hell if I know why.
Probably has something to do with maximizing the amount of time it takes
to xfr files...
A-and, if you know the location of a tar utility, that would be cool, too.
Thanks in advance
1. help with "compress" and "gzip"
Hi, I have a whole bunch of files that I have previously compressed with
the "compress" command of the following type:
a.Z
b.Z
c.Z
etc
I have found that "gzip" is available on my machine and appears to be much
more efficient at compressing my files. Thus, I would like to use a single
line of commands to un"compress" the above files, the recompress them using
gzip so that the result would be:
a.gz
b.gz
c.gz
etc.
Is there a simple way of doing this with a single command line? I have tried
things like the following without success:
uncompress *.Z | gzip
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Joe
