GNU zip v1.0.7
                               --------------

 This is the binaries of GNU zip v1.0.7 for the Atari (hereby referred to as
 gzip). I have built two different versions, one for the standard TOS file-
 system (gzip-tos.ttp), and one for the Minix filesystem (gzip.ttp). As far
 as I know the MinixFS-version should also work correctly on top of any other
 Unix-lookalike filesystem.

 If you own an Atari with 68020 or higher (TT, Falcon) you might want to down-
 load the file gzip107tt.zoo instead, as it contains the same program compiled
 for 68020 by GCC. It should prove to be a tiny bit faster than the 68000-
 version. The only disadvantage is that it won't work on 68000 or 68010.

 This version of gzip was compiled with GCC v2.3.3 PL2 and MiNTlibs PL30. If
 you want a list over what compile-options were used then please have a look
 in the file "tailor.h". You will find the Atari-specific stuff easy by
 locating the word "ATARI" (strange, eh? :-).

 If you want to build your own binaries of gzip, then download the sourcecode-
 archive (gzip-1.0.7.tar.z) from your favourite gnu-software supplier, or if
 they haven't got it, from prep.ai.mit.edu with anonymous FTP (try to respect
 the FTP-guidelines by only using it on non-prime-time (nights and weekends)).
 Atari is directly supported in the sourcecode nowadays, so the only thing you
 need to do is to copy the Makefile.st from the atari-directory to the main
 directory, edit it to produce the kind of executable you want (Minix/TOS-FS
 and 68000/68020) and issue a "make -f Makefile.st" (if you have GCC and Make
 installed). Apart from the sourcecode the archive also contains some more or
 less interesting documents/documentation and a couple of shellscripts.

 NEWS: As of version 1.0.7 match.S also supports the 68000 and 68010. This
 should give a speed-up in the compression-phase.

 TODO: Try to find a simple solution that removes the necessity of having two
 different executables to be able to run on both MinixFS and TOSFS.
