vt. [Unix] When used without a qualifier, generally refers to crunch ing of
|
|
|
|
|
a file using a particular C implementation of compression by Joseph M. Orost
|
|
|
|
|
et al.: and widely circulated via Usenet ; use of crunch itself in this
|
|
|
|
|
sense is rare among Unix hackers. Specifically, compress is built around the

|
|
|
|
Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm as described in A Technique for High Performance
