   Hej August!   
      
   > I'm not sure what specifically the "sh" one is.   
      
   That is a real old shell that has become a symbolic link to whatever the shell   
   you are really using, in your case probably ash.  In my case it is bash which   
   is a relatively new shell in the grand scheme of all that is termed unixie.    
   On Solaris csh (aka c-shell) was all the rage.  You can chalk this one up as a   
   backwards compatibilty thingy.  On most, if not all, linux distributions bash   
   is the usual suspect (gnu).

   From my limited understanding it was originally stolen code that became known   
   as pkzip and was made freely available to anyone caring to download and use   
   it.  At any rate it really isn't straight compresssion as it also archives   
   which is a totally different function.  In unixieland the archiving is usually   
   tar and doesn't require compression which, as Martha would say, is a good   
   thing.  In the days of nine track tapes, this was a feature since compression   
   was vorboten.
