Speaking of zip able to create streamed archive, I may be doing something wrong with zip syntax but when I do try this: ``$ cat fin | zip -FI - - > fout''. I get `Zip64 entry -- not supported, use unzip'. Which doesn't happen when `/dev/stdin' is used, although this is another source of issues, but unrelated to gzip. > if you would like your name and email address in the THANKS file, please let me know your name or nom de plume. Nah, thanks. If you have to put nick without email, don't fancy that kind of fame. You could use test attached as it is simpler, though still compressible. If you don't like utf use ascii.
