Yes gzip can handle it, but that doesn't solve my core problem.  I work
at a software company and we make software that runs on Linux as well as
pretty much all other flavours of Linux.  We use compress/uncompress to
extract and install the software - the call to uncompress is part of the
install shell script.  Problem is, gziup isn't available on all Unix
platforms - whereas compress is.

I installed SUSE 10.0 on Friday... today I try a test install of our
software, and.. it fails because uncompress isn't there.  Like I said, I
can hack the installer to use zcat (gzip) and it all works... but that's
a single instance hack... and doesn't help anyone else who might try to
install on SUSE 10.

So... that still leaves me with the question... what happened to that
old fashioned compress/uncompress app?  I'm wondering if I missed it in
the installer... or if it was dropped.
