This is all very well and good for people who use tar and compress (most of
the world) but you might wanna check out the new versions of the Unix zip
and unzip (1.80g and 5.0m, respectively) which support the deflate algorithm.
These programs are THE tightest unix compression available....MUCH more so
than the Unix compress.  They can be gotten at gate.gnu.ai.mit.edu via
anonymous ftp.  You should be able to get them and compile on the NeXT..
