493 Fri May 24 07:37:54 MDT 1996 Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>
495 * don't provide a 'compress' link since it breaks things, but provide
496 an 'uncompress' link since it's useful.
497 * fix some administrivia

504 Wed Jan 17 00:07:00 MST 1996 Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>
506 * switch targets in the Makefile to also install the links called
507 'compress' and 'uncompress' since some utilities care about these,
508 and we're unlikely to ever have a 'compress' package because of the
509 intellectual property issues.

514 * add 'zless' as a near-clone of 'zmore', closes bug 1776
515 * unable to duplicate bug 1090, something has improved since then?
516 * add libc5 dependency
