Compress version 1.0
This program is basically a nice front end to the
compress/uncompress program. Execpt that the compress/uncompress code
has been incorperated directly into the Compress program itself. No
system() or execl() calls are done at all.
The program will also allow you to decompress all files ending
with .Z simply by double clicking on them.
This program also provides a file compression service for any
program that can paste file names into the NXFilenamePboard (namely
Workspace Manager)
Things to do.
When a file is being compressed or decompressed no indication
of how long it will take is given to the user. This needs to be added
at some point in time.
The compress code is taken from:
