      From: mutazilah@gmail.com              It looks like comp.compression is now all-spam.              I found this code:              https://ncedc.org/qug/software/dos_utilities/comp430s.zip              which is public domain C code that is       capable of doing Unix "compress" to       decompress UUCP news bundles.              I wondered if info-unzip was capable of       decompressing this format.              There is an "unshrink.c" which sounds like       it might, but it has apparently been modified.              I'm happy to dumb down the comp430s code so       that it fits within info-unzip capabilities.              Any idea what the situation is?              And obviously I have some work to do to       integrate that code into a zip.c program       (I have already written such a thing with       zero compression).              If there is an alternative suggestion I am       open to that. But the alternative needs to       also be C90-compliant public domain code.              Thanks. Paul.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
