Re: Compatible exports

The Unix utility "gzip" should give you much better (speed, size) results than "compress" and is also compatible with Winzip. There is even an optional command-line version of Winzip if some kind of batch process is called for.

Although not required, it might be helpful to use the FILE and FILESIZE options of EXP to break export into more manageable chunks, but I'm not sure if these existed for version 7.3.4..

I have a Unix / Oracle 7.3.4 database export that needs to be compressed
and sent to a vendor so they can import it into an 8.1.7 Oracle NT
database.  Are there any compatible compress utilities between the two
servers?

The database is around 50G and pretty full.  The compressed export is
around 6G.
