I'm confused. I thought the plan was to use zip format, not gzip format. zip format allows any number of subfiles, and they can be grouped in directories and subdirectories within the zip file. > A another break in the format won't be as signifigant, codewise, since the > format is the same, its just now in a gz file. Since we're going to have to change to zip files from gzip files, it would be good to do this change now at the same time as all the other changes. -- Joe > We could even do a sort of > auto-detection, if opening it as zip fails try the old way (chances are 99.99% > that the signature checks will fail if the zip code itself doesn't report > error), so players don't even notice for there own maps. _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
