Description:
Compress reduces the size of the named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv
coding. Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the exten-
sion .Z, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and modification
times. If no files are specified, the standard input is compressed to
the standard output. Compressed files can be restored to their original
form using uncompress or zcat
-- Quoted from the manpage in the compress distribution.
Advertised architectures: Not listed.
Prerequisites: C compiler, Berkeley "mandoc" macros, and Berkeley make
