[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] The zip compression utility [T] gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement [T] for 'compress'. Its main advantages over compress are much better [T] compression and freedom from patented algorithms. The GNU Project [T] uses it as the standard compression program for its system. [T] [T] gzip currently uses by default the LZ77 algorithm used in zip 1.9 (the [T] portable pkzip compatible archiver). The gzip format was however [T] designed to accommodate several compression algorithms.
