Though of course that still wastes time chucking data through the pipe
between two programs. This:
gzip </dev/hda >test.gz
should win. (Where'd the 96k come from - is it just an arbirary big chunk or
do you have something specific in mind?)

I believe the difficulty is inversely proportional to the crotch-to-shoulder
measurement, and proportional to the coefficient of friction of the inside
surface. Mine got smelly so I cleaned it, now it's hard to put on!
(Lucky I'm not a well-known DoD'er, or that would end up in someone's .sig).
