   An update that has one optional fix can now be installed.

Description:

   This update provides ncompress, a file compression utility.

   The ncompress package contains the compress and uncompress file
   compression and decompression utilities, which are compatible with the
   original UNIX compress utility (.Z file extensions).  These utilities
    can't handle gzipped (.gz file extensions) files, but gzip can handle
    compressed files.

   Install ncompress if you need compression/decompression utilities which
   are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility.
