493 * don't provide a 'compress' link since it breaks things, but provide
494 an 'uncompress' link since it's useful.
495 * fix some administrivia

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

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