In a clean install of FC2 there are man pages for compress in
/usr/share/man/man1p.  But no executables for those commands.  I just
found that strange.

I would have thought the man pages would be packaged with the
executables.

Besides gunzip did the job in place of uncompress so I thought that
maybe a sim link had been missed.
