Re: UNPACKP / LZW / STORE / tar

I'll still vote for LZW, until TurboSTORE is enhanced.

TurboSTORE/diskfile method is sensitive to the format in which the
file is uploaded to the HP 3000.  A real problem for files transferred
over the network.  Requires care in uploading to the 3000.

LZW is extremely forgiving about the format of the uploaded file.

WINZIP? Heck...compress it with "compress" in the POSIX shell, or do it
with tar's "z" option ... why require the use of a program *and step* on
another platform?
