+Command:   compress, uncompress, zcat - compress a file  using  modified
+                Lempel-Ziv coding
+Syntax:    compress [-cdfv] [file] ...
+Flags:     -c  Put output on stdout instead of on file.Z
+           -d  Decompress instead of compress
+           -f  Force output even if there is no saving
+           -v  Verbose mode
+Examples:  compress <infile >outfile # Compress 1 file
+           compress x y z           # Compress 3 files to x.Z, y.Z,  and
+                                      z.Z
+           compress -d file.Z       # Decompress file.Z to file
+
+     The listed files (or stdin, if none are given) are compressed using
+the  Ziv-Lempel algorithm.  If the output is smaller than the input, the
+output is put on file.Z or stdout if no files are listed. If compress is
+linked  to  uncompress,  the  latter  is the same as giving the -d flag.
+Similarly, a link to zcat decompresses to stdout.  The MINIX version  of
+compress  uses  13-bit  compression.   This  means that when compressing
+files on other systems for transmission to MINIX, be sure that only  13-
+bit  compression  is  used.  On many systems, the default is 16-bit (too
+big).
