Branch: pkgsrc-2009Q4, Version: 1.3.12nb3, Package name: gzip-1.3.12nb3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

GZIP (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by Jean-Loup
Gailly <gzip@gnu.org> for the GNU project.

This program was developed as a replacement for compress because of the UNISYS
and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These patents
made it impossible for us to use compress, and we needed a replacement. The
superior compression ratio of GZIP is just a bonus.
