Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

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.
