Go to ComputerBase. Say, "Mike, can you sell me a faster CPU/Motherboard/disk drive?" Oh, that won't work for you. Never mind. Uncompressed tar is usually faster than compressed. gzip compression (the "z" flag) is much faster than bzip2 compression (the "j" flag), and not a whole lot bigger. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
