gzip version 0.5 is available for anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu
[18.71.0.38], in the file /pub/gnu/gzip-0.5.tar.Z
gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement
for 'compress'. Its main advantages over compress are better
compression and freedom from patented algorithms. The GNU Project
intends to make this the standard compression program for its system.
gzip currently uses by default the compression algorithm used in zip
1.9 (the portable pkzip compatible archiver). The gzip format was
however designed to accomodate several compression algorithms.
gunzip can currently decompress files in gzip 'deflate' format, zip
format or 'compress' format. The detection of the input format is
automatic.
