a solution solution $ plzip.exe -c a.txt | cat > nul (or the equivalent
to 'cat' on Windows) Problem solved. :-) Cat is slow in windoze. It
is not a solution. It would be if it was allowed to force like pigz does.
(or the equivalent to 'cat' on Windows) I dont think there is, unless
you use one from cygwin or msys. BTW. using -o is not going to help either.
It is exactly the same thing. Assume that plzip.exe allow to force output:
~~~ % ./lzip.exe -o nul test.txt lzip: nul: I won't write compressed data
to a terminal. % ./plzip.exe -o nul test.txt plzip: nul: I won't write
compressed data to a terminal. % ./plzip.exe -f -o nul test.txt ~~~ It
all grows out of the fact that the nul is not a file in windows. It is a
feature, that is present in every directory and isatty correctly points that
there is no such file. But it is not a problem if you allow to force output.
I have already make one that does just that. If you dont like it, fine. I just
pointed out the issue. What you do with that issue is not my business. No any
more.
