My fix is not the best one. This bug needs a better wording. Archives are described by the file utility as "gzip compressed data", "7-zip compressed data", etc. "compress'd data" stands for an abbreviation of the ugly wording "compress compressed data" (compress being the name of the app used to compress) or "compressed data compressed with compress" :) It could be "LZW compressed data" or "data compressed usin compress". Please suggest a correct wording having the same meaning as the above, and I'll do the patch.
