	ONLY at 2400 baud? Life's hell eh? NOT! I'm at 2400 myself (well
actually 2400 connection/9600 serial connection) and it doesnt hurt to take the
time.. :)

GNU Zip

#434

While it's still a bit early, it wouldn't be a bad idea to port GNU Zip (gzip)
to GNO.  It's intended to be a replacement for UNIX compress.

It uses Zip's "deflate" algorithm, which will do better than freeze(1) on
the medium to high settings (you can control speed vs compression with -1 to
-9).  It's larger than freeze but smaller than a complete archiver, and has
some useful features.

It's only at v0.6 right now.  You can find it on ftp.uu.net in /systems/gnu/
as gzip-0.6.tar.Z, and it's mirrored on prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/.
