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.
