Description-en: frontend to many compression programs
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.
.
The basic idea 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.
