I'm looking for a utility that will compress large text files, but not change the extension. For example - I have a 2mb text file called readme.txt - after compression, it becomes a 100k file still called readme.txt. My situation - We have a main frame putting text files into a directory. Through the web, we display these files as links. When a user clicks on the link, we display the file. In some cases, these text files reach 2mb. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that displaying 2mb files over the web is unacceptable. So, I'm looking for a way to compress them, possibly through a command-line utility or something.
