There is a PD/ShareWare version of Compress for the Mac called,
of all things, MacCompress. I believe that it is available from
the sumex-aim archives as well as the listserver at rice 
(LISTSERV@icsa.rice.edu). I am not sure of the filename on sumex
as I dont have ftp access, but the name on rice is:

	UTIL/MACCOMPRESS-32.HQX

I have used this util with success downloading from a Sun 3 to a 
[Mac II | Mac IIx | SE | SE/30 ]. The only problem that I have
had with it is that sometimes the get corrupted when created on 
the Mac. I have never had problems extracting an archive created
on the Sun.

Another alternative is to use zoo on the *nix system. There is a
util called MacBooz (ver 2.0) that will extract zoo archives. It 
does not appear to be available from rice or sumex, but I could 
be persuaded to mail it out or post it (depending on response).

Hope this helps,
