specifies whether to store object files in a compressed format. compressed files are fully compatible across systems. they
are slower to read and write, and have a smaller file size. however, in some cases the compressed file size is larger than
the uncompressed format.
note
if you want to copy a compressed object file from a unix system to a windows nt or windows 95 machine or vice versa, use the
operating-system command rcp -bfrom
the windows machine.
