Anyone happen to know why from Red Hat 8.0 uncompress isn't part of the
core distribution? This change appears to have broken many installation
procedures; one presumes in a good cause.
Apparently the cure is to login as root and do this:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s gunzip uncompress
ln -s gzip compress (for good measure)
But why has uncompress fallen out of favour?
