 Compressed format can speed up the printing of a drawing, as much
 as 5 times faster.  Compressed format is recognized ONLY by the
 LaserJet IIP, III or later developed HP printers. Do NOT use
 compressed format output on other LaserJet devices.

GKS

 GKS refers to GKS metafiles. The GKS metafile is available only at
 sites where PHYSICA is linked with a local GKS library.  In this case,
 there will likely be an interpreter program which allows the metafile
 to be replayed onto various printers and terminals.
