Description : Frontend to many compression programs
(Include the long description here.)
Comprez, aka 'z', is a simple, safe and convenient front-end for the
compress(1), uncompress(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), tar(1), zip(1) and
unzip(1) utilities for compressing and uncompressing files and
directories. See the included man page for full details.
The basic idea behind z is that you can just run `comprez SOMETHING`
where SOMETHING is any file, directory, compressed file or compressed
archive, and program will do the right thing in a standard way.
Simple for novices and convenient for experts. Great for unpacking
downloads or compressing files to save space.
