Where to find sources for compressing programs?
Hi, A friend of mine who does not have access to Usenet is looking for sources in C for compressing and archiving programs, something like arj or zip.

Re: Linux and i486
Not necessarily... I have a friend running a VESA-VLB system pushed by an i486DX-50. He's got a video card in the VLB slot, and his disk controller, too, i think... Anyway, he hasn't run into any major problems with it... No problems at all so far, in fact. [tech info deleted]
