I think so. IIRC, gzip -9 tries to be even more sophisticated when finding patterns to compress, but also for the cost of using more RAM and much more time. In the end the ratio depends on what you have on the disk - if image size doesn't matter and time to get the image done is limited (the usual case) then -1 is preferable over -9. - Hubert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
