Received? How? Beaming? Hotsyncing? Sending it out where?

palmzlib.sourceforge.net is the central location. SysZLib is a
standard palm shared library (aka system library) implementing both
compression and deompression.
ZBoxZ (palmboxer.sourceforge.net) also includes DOC compression, and
is GPL.
ZBoxZ also include ZipSync and RunZip which are more like the palmzip
utility if you want to do that type of thing.
