.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS "pack"
- .sp
- .LP
The \fBpack\fR command attempts to store the specified files in a compressed
form. Wherever possible (and useful), each input file \fBfile\fR is replaced by
a packed file \fBfile\fR\fB\&.z\fR with the same access modes, access and
modified dates, and owner as those of \fBfile\fR. If \fBpack\fR is successful,
\fBfile\fR is removed.

The last segment of the file name must be short enough to allow space for the
! appended \fB\&.z\fRextension. Directories cannot be compressed.
.SS "pcat"
- .sp
- .LP
The \fBpcat\fR command does for packed files what \fBcat\fR(1) does for
ordinary files, except that \fBpcat\fR cannot be used as a filter. The
specified files are unpacked and written to the standard output.

.SS "unpack"
- .sp
- .LP
The \fBunpack\fR command expands files created by \fBpack\fR. For each
\fBfile\fR specified in the command, a search is made for a file called
\fBfile\fR\fB\&.z\fR (or just \fBfile\fR, if \fBfile\fR ends in \fB\&.z\fR). If
this file appears to be a packed file, it is replaced by its expanded version.
The new file has the \fB\&.z\fR suffix stripped from its name, and has the same
