hi ! i know of that option, but i think, if there is gzip and if there is bzip2, there is also lzop and this 3 compression algorithms build up a nice triumvirate. lzop isn`t just any of those further compression programs - it`s the logical addendum to gzip and bzip2 - but nobody didn`t yet notice this. you would be surprised if you know how many programs incorporate lzo compression algorithm!
