Misc arbitrary size limits: Filesize on your filesystem (2 GB for FAT and ext2/3 under 2.2, IIRC). Free space on your filesystem.
Hmmm... I thought I'd thought of one more, but I guess that that's it. Note that gzipping an already-compressed file (.zip, .jpg, .mp3, etc.) doesn't gain you a whole lot -- it may even take longer, and the resulting filesize may actually be larger than the sum of its components -- a literal, if not intended, definition of synergy. -Ken On Thu, 18 Apr 2002, Charles Farinella wrote: > I'm trying to create zipped (or unzipped for that matter) archives and > getting these errors, mostly while it's doing Windows .zip files.
