The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

* ncompress	5.0

Compress is a fast, simple LZW file compressor.
Compress does not have the highest compression rate,
but it is one of the fastest programs to compress data.
Package is provided for compatibility as gunzip or zcat can
also be used for .Z as well as pack .z, and .zip files.

For more information see the project home page:
