Due to some sort of licensing issues this utility was not included with SuSE 8.1. I have a install procedure that uses compress as opposed to gunzip simply due to the fact that even the most primitive Unix boxes tend to have it. I feel your pain. I have not yet upgraded to 8.1. Try snagging an older SuSE box if available and getting compress and uncompress from there. I am curious to see if it works. If you do not have a version I can send you one.

I have not been able to find compress. I would have thoutht that it would install by default. I realize gunzip is a better compression tool. But some programs still call compress.
