    compress and uncompress commands

    I'm running Fedora 13, trying to compress a services file using command "compress5 -v services" but I get an error message stating "command not found similar command compress".

    I can use just the compress command and not use the 5 and it compresses about 68.86%. ls -l shows the services.z file but when I try to uncompress it I get error "stdin not in compressed format".

    Can anyone help me to see what I'm doing wrong here.

    Thanks in advance.

    I figured it out thanks anyways. I was using a small case z instead of an uppercase Z.
