          Which compression tool, supplied by SCO or available from
          Skunkware, is the best one to use to compress my files?

          Different compression algorithms used by UnixWare's or OpenServer's
          own "compress" and the GNU "gzip" or "bzip2" compression tools,
          available from:

                http://www.sco.com/skunkware

          will differ depending on the type of file being compressed, which 
          will result in different compressed file sizes and the amount of CPU
          resource required to obtain that compression.

          In order to determine which is the better tool to use for your files,
          you should TEST the files being compressed with the following:

*     timex compress -v <file> ;using the OS's standard "compress"

*     timex gzip -v <file>     ;using "gzip" with default compression

*     timex gzip -1 -v <file>  ;using "gzip" with quickest compression

*     timex gzip -9 -v <file>  ;using "gzip" with best compression

*     timex zip <file>.zip <file> ; using InfoZip from Skunkware

      timex bzip2 <file>       ;using "bzip2" from Skunkware

      timex compress -H <file> ;using the OpenServer's "compress -H"

      timex pack <file>        ;using the OS's standard "pack"

          Please Note "*" signifies that a file generated with this utility is 
          also compatible with WinZip version 8.

          In addition, tar files can also be read by WinZip.

          "bzip" is used by UnixWare's Emergency Recovery in /usr/lib/drf.
          Examples for use are included in /usr/lib/drf/cpioout and
          /usr/lib/drf/cut_flop.

          If you wish to use the "-H" flag from OpenServer's "compress" on
          UnixWare7, then this is available on UnixWare7 from :

                /OpenServer/bin/compress

          gunzip will also read files compressed using "compress" with the "-H"
          flag.

          SCO OpenServer also supports DTFS, a file system which performs
          automatic compression of data as it is being written to disk. Average
          compression ratios for different file types are listed in the
          OpenServer System Administration Guide in Chapter 2,
          "Administering Filesystems".  You can view this list at
          http://osr5doc.sco.com:457/OSAdminG/fsC.compress.html.

          lzma-4.32.7 for OpenServer 6.0.0 has been posted at:

          ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr6/vols/lzma-4.32.7Sb-VOLS.cpio

          SUMMARY: The lzma package provides utilities implementing LZMA
                   compression from 7zip. It includes lzmash, a compression
                   tool with an interface similar to that of gzip and bzip2.

          A README describing how to install this Skunkware release is 
          available at:

          ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr6/vols/lzma-4.32.7Sb-README

          7zip is free for Windows PC's and can read cpio, tz and tar format
          files along with traditional 'zip'.
