file using vi such as test.txt

Enter some content, anything, in your test file and take note of the file size

in bytes.

2. Use each of the following (compress, gzip and bzip2) to evaluate compression ratios on

the file you created:

compress <file_name> creates a .z compressed file

uncompress <file_name> uncompresses .z file

gzip <file_name> creates .gz compressed file

gunzip <file_name> uncompresses .gz file

bzip2 <file_name> creates .bz2 compressed file

bunzip2 <file_name> uncompresses .bz2 file

3. Answer the following questions for your file:

What is the % compression using compress?

What is the % compression using gzip?

What is the % compression using bzip2?

Which one had the highest level of compression (resulted in the smallest file size)?
