I dont agree. I would like to see all data fully and trivially interchangable between fproxy and other client applications (FUQID, fiw, frost and so on). This significantly increases the chances of interesting small proof-of-concept applications appearing. I hold the pretty much the same view as palomitas on this issue. I think a general file compression scheme wouldn't be of much use and that it would add much unnecessary complexity to fred. I am very much pro intelligently used containers though, not because the compression apsect of them but because of the atomicity aspect. The compression is only a lucky/useful side-effect..... /N _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
