 File Decompressing

From: Xabier Vazquez Gallardo, sixconse@sc.ehu.es
Hi there:
Here is a script I wrote two years ago, but I think it can
be useful for everybody. It can also help in learning shell script
programming.
The function of this script is to help ppl decompressing
compressed files with tar, gzip, compress, arj, zip, etc, and any
combination of these compression tools. Just type "gus filename" and the
script will call the necessary decompression program.
Thanx in advance,
Xabier Vazquez Gallardo

# You'll need this external programs:
# gzip, tar, sed, awk, unarj, lha, zoo, unzip, test, pgp, uncompress, echo and
# uudecode. If you don't have all those programs maybe gus won't work.
#
# Program Description:
# Decompress all this kind of files and combinations of them:
# .arc .zip .ZIP .arj .zoo .lzh .lha .lzh .Z .z .tar .tgz .shar .pgp
# .[1-8ln] .man .uu and .uue
# * Man type files will be displayed
#
# Please send suggestions or gub reports to XaBi
# Sorry about my English, but it's better than Spanish, isn't it?

echo This script helps you decompressing Unix archives compressed with compress,
