(please cc: replies to me, i am not on this list) it strikes me as odd that the standard potato doesn't seem to include the pack huffman coder or compress lzw compressor. while these are fairly obsoleted by gzip, especially as gunzip will read .z and .Z files, they still are mildly useful. am i blatantly wrong and there's actually some package containing them, or should i just write my own copies?
