In article <9103202037.AA15663@mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu> rms@GNU.AI.MIT.EDU (Richard Stallman) writes: It's not a good idea for people to introduce further use of compress, because it's patented, and Unisys wants us to pay for the privilege. This may be true, but I would assert that, when an alternative is available, it will be easy enough to replace occurrences of "compress" with "newfreecompress", and the top-level behavior will remain unmodified. Meanwhile, we all get to enjoy the benefits of automatic file compression. -- =Spencer W. Thomas EECS Dept, U of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 spencer@eecs.umich.edu 313-936-2616 (8-6 E[SD]T M-F)
