- GNU ZIP v0.6 Atari
- ------------------
-
- This is an experimental port of GNU ZIP v0.6 for the Atari. I have built
- two different versions, one for the normal TOS filesystem and one for
- MinixFS (or similar). The TOS-version hasn't been tested very much, but it
- should at least give people without MinixFS a chance to test GZIP out.
- However, I can't guarantee that it'll work. When GZIP comes closer to a
- full version (lots of different options and functions are still missing)
- I might consider trying a bit harder to make it TOS-friendly (if it isn't
- already :-). It also hasn't been tested under plain TOS, so if it for some
- reason doesn't work for you then please try it with MiNT installed. When
- I haven't got MiNT installed I loose my MinixFS (64 meg out of 85) and with
- that most of the utilities and programs that I use. Therefore running my
- Atari without MiNT isn't very easy (nor funny). And since I'm a lazy bastard
- I didn't care to try GZIP without MiNT installed, sorry! Bug reports and
- comments concerning the Atari-port are always welcomed (see addresses
- below). For further information about the author and where to send bug
- reports/comments concerning the actual program (non-Atari specific code
- that is) please have a look in the README file.
-
- This version of GZIP was compiled with GCC v2.3.1 PL1 and MiNTlibs PL25.
- For information on the different compile-options used please see the
- simple makefile (Makefile.st) that I included.
-
- If you want to build your own copy of GZIP then grab the source
- (gzip-0.6.tar.Z) from your local gnu-ftp-site, or if they haven't got
- it, from prep.ai.mit.edu. Along with the complete source follows a couple
- of shell-scripts and some more documentation (f.e. about the algorithms
- used) that probably is of great use to anyone interested in GZIP and its
- future. The reason for not including more from the source-distribution
- is that I thought the size was the most important thing since anyone
- can DL the source, but not everyone have the resources to compile it.
