This directory contains a utility that compresses binary files using a
LZ77 style compression algorithm.  The command line is:

    compress <input-file> <output-file> 
    
where <input-file> is the name of a file to compress, and 
<output-file> is the name for the output file.  

This application can be built with the GNU tools that ship with Cygwin.
These tools are shipped with NET+OS for GNU.  If you do not have them,
then you can download them for free from http://www.cygwin.com/.

To build using Microsoft Visual C++ to remove the cygwin1.dll dependency,
use these commands:

nmake /f "compress.mak" CFG="compress - Win32 Release"

nmake /f "compress.mak" CFG="compress - Win32 Release" clean
