szip was compiled for the Amiga by Allan Odgaard using VBCC by Volker Barthelmann. Please note that szip defaults to reading from stdin and writting to stdout, so typing 'szip' with no arguments will output a compressed 'zero file' to your console. szip.040 is a version compiled for the 68040, which is upto 13% faster than the plain version, which is why I included it :-) For more info, please see 'readme.txt'. szip is (c) 1997-99 by Michael Schindler http://www.compressconsult.com/szip/
