Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine My apologies gang for flooding the list with that complaint. It turns out I did a typically beginner thing, and deleted the reference to BZIP2 from the command string, and forgot to put the -z option down, instead of the -j one.
We need to make sure the directions, in both places are correct, that they indicate which command to use for which form of compression. I take it back Marco, it's not your problem, it's mine. And Alfred, the next time your this side of the pond, I'm buying. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
