I forgot to mention that you can see for yourself how great it is: My raw ISO image is roughly 650 MB but thro' different version of SpamCheetah I have never had a p7 image more than 110 MB. http://spam-cheetah.com/download.html See for yourself. Test it and find out. gz produces more than double the size of 7z. So you can say that gz achieves 300% compression and 7z more than double that. Of course I await the day when tar(BSD and GNU) embraces this great technology. We shall take a dekko at some mp3 related stuff tomorrow. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
