Why should one want that to be done? Please, don't do this, as it would bar users from using a version of the compress programs of their own, should they need to. Why not just relay on the PATH environment variable? To have the PATH variable set right, just use a login shell, when issuing the tar command. -- Wer mir E-Mail schreiben will, stelle | When writing me e-mail, please bitte vor meine E-Mail-Adresse meinen | precede my e-mail address with Vor- und Nachnamen, etwa so: | my full name, like Helmut Waitzmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, (Helmut Waitzmann) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
