GZipper 1.2.7
GZipper - GUI front-end to the gzip command-line utility more>> GZipper - GUI front-end to the gzip command-line utility
GZipper is a drag-and-drop program that gzips any files dropped onto it. If a file is already gzipped, it will gunzip it for you.
Drag a file onto it, and it will be gzipped using the highest level of compression available from the gzip program built into OS X. (Unfortunately, folders and packages cannot be gzipped unless the "Recursive" function is on.) If the file is already gzipped, it will be unzipped.
If you open the program by double-clicking it in the Finder, you can set the preferences in the main window to overwrite existing files and/or operate recursively on directories.
System requirements:
- AppleScript 1.8.3.
NutCase Gzip 0.9b
NutCase Gzip - A program to create and unpack Gzip ( .gz ) files more>>
MacGzip (PPC) 1.1.3
Compress files to a smaller file size in the GZIP format . more>>
Keep in mind that MacGzip is acompression tool, not an archival tool. Thismeans that while the program can compressindividual files, it cannot compress multiplefiles into a single archive for distribution orbackup.
bzippy 1.0
bzippy - droplet which runs a shell script on each file, in this case bzip2 more>>
It spawns a new backgrounded thread for each file, and provides no feedback!
Can be easily modified to use gzip or any other command line utlity on a file.

p7zip is a port of 7za.exe for POSIX systems like MacOS X, Unix (Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, AIX, Cygwin, ...), and BeOS.
7-Zip is a file archiver with highest compression ratio. Since 4.10, p7zip (like 7-zip) supports little-endian and big-endian machines.
NOTE: To install, open a terminal, go to the source directory and run "make" without the quotes.

ZipperLite 1.0
Zipper is a little GUI wrapper for the command line utilities gzip, bzip2, and tar more>>
This will be (probably, unless there are big bugs that need fixing) the final release of this product, because I plan to move on to a more complex, file-browser style GUI wrapper for tar. In all probability, it will be called Zipper, and thus the current product is renamed to ZipperLite.
tgzMe 1.0
tgzMe is such free but fast, useful software which lets you drag files or folders or whatever onto it, and by golly, it turns it into a TGZ (tar gzip) archive. more>>

XIPS 1.0.2
XIPS is a tool endowed with extraordinary powers of applying IPS patch files, as commonly found on the internet, to binary files. more>>
XIPS 1.0.2 is a tool endowed with extraordinary powers of applying IPS patch files, as commonly found on the internet, to binary files. The purpose of these patch files being to save having to distribute new binary files when it is often easier to distribute only the changes.
Although there have been other IPS utilities out for Mac OS this is the first one to be available for Mac OS X and the first to support gzip encoded patch and binary files.
Easy-GZ 1.1
Easy-GZ is a very flexible and effective compression tool which allows extremely tight compression and quick decompression. more>>

GUI Tar 1.2.3
GUI Tar 1.2.3 is a useful UNIX utility that lets users wrap and zip 7za, tar, gzip, bzip2 file types. more>>
GUI Tar 1.2.3 is a useful UNIX utility that lets users wrap and zip 7za, tar, gzip, bzip2 file types. The operating system itself handles the complicated work, while GUI Tar provides a pleasant and easy method to interact with these system tools. GUI Tar is divided into two sections: Extractor and Compressor.
GUI Tar Extractor offers the functionality of its sister application Untar 1.3.2 by being able to uncompress and extract files from archives. The following files can be opened by Extractor: .7z, .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .dmg.gz, .svgz, .gz, .tar.z, .z, .Z, .tar.Z, .taz, .tbz, .tbz2, .bz, .bz2, .rar, and .zip.
GUI Tar Compressor can compress and/or archive a collection of files in .7z, .bz2, .tar, .tbz, .tgz, .gz, or .Z formats. Archive files and folders from multiple locations, instead of being restricted to just one directory.
Enhancement:
- Fixes for Mac OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard" compatbility.
Requirement:
- Mac OS 10.3.9 or later
A wrapper application which acts as the front end to the 7za, tar, gzip, bzip2, uncompress, unrar, unzip, and zip UNIX utilities. The operating system itself handles the complicated work, whileHedge Backup Script 1.1.0
Simple and easy-to-use backup script for your Unix systems more>>
Note: For a better understanding of how to use this script, please refer to the readme file in the archive.
Major Features:
- Backs up filesystems with tar
- Compresses its archives with gzip
- Encrypts its archives with openssl
- Pipes the archive to remote storage using ssh
- Uses simple Y-M-D date-stamps to housekeep its archives
- Is just a shell script. Hopefully a fairly legible one.
