That one works well on on regular files, which is the 99.9% case I need. A zcat applet as part of Busybox would simplify things, especially on small systems and on rescue images. IMO a wide spread general zcat (may be as part of GNU) would be better than separate decompressors for every compression format ... but as a little fly it is difficult to move the hole world. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
