ncompress: Fast compression/decompression compatible with the original *nix compress utility

The ncompress package contains the compress and uncompress file compression and decompression utilities, which are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility (.Z file extensions).
These utilities can't handle gzipped (.gz file extensions) files, but gzip can handle compressed files.
Install ncompress if you need compression/decompression utilities which are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility.
