 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .SS "pack"

-.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.
