1 The hpack Multi-System Archiver is an archiver that was
2 written to allow the transfer of archived data to differ-
3 ent systems. In the past archivers have traditionally
4 been available for single systems only, for example
5 PKZIP and LHARC for the IBM PC, Larc for the Amiga,
6 StuffIt and Compactor for the Macintosh, and tar and
7 compress for UNIX systems (while these archivers are
8 available on other systems, their use is not widespread).
