I need a gzip compression utility for the PC. A DOS or 16 bit
Windows version is prefered. I have alesady searched the net and found a
program called gzip.exe and gzip386.exe. I tried using this program on a
VRML file and it crushed the file size from 190K to 5K! (hmm... something is
wrong here) Of course when I tried to load this file into WebFX it just
choked on the data. Both gzip programs are dated 1993, kinda old for my
tastes. So does anybody know of a recent gzip utility for Windows? Thanks
in advance.
