Compress cmd in Linux

[Aunty Nutter]

 How can I use the (Unix) command - compress in a Linux environment?
Reason: the resulting file will be copied into a remote Unix system.
I usually use the gzip command for Linux, but this isn't available in Unix, for the destination user to execute.

1) You can use compress command in Linux by following command.

compress filename

The resultant file will be filename.Z & u can use uncompress command for the same in linux.

2) If you are having Unixware 7.00, you can put gzip & gunzip in /usr/bin, and both the gzip & gunzip will work in Unix system also.

Hope this solves ur query.
