| ANNOUNCE: NEW BINARIES UPLOADED!

| Bug reports and comments to: faith@cs.unc.edu

| NEW IN THIS RELEASE, as of Sun Jan 17 10:16:24 1993. Unless otherwise
| noted, all binaries will untar into /usr/bin: cd /; gtar zpxvf filename.taz
|
|
| gzip07A.Notes
| gzip07A.taz
|
| This is GNU gzip 0.7, which acts like compress, but which has better
| compression ratios. It contains gzip, gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zdiff,
| zmore, znew, and uncompress. The znew utility converts *.Z files to
| *.z files. All of the z* and uncompress utilities will now handle *.Z
| and *.z files. Has man and info pages, binaries in /bin.
Arrrgh! This is a really bad idea! Please consider changing this right
away, since UNIX pack creates .z files, and there will undoubtedly be
confusion about what was used. There is enough confusion about which
compressor was used without adding to it. Please!
