Of course, the original poster was advocating gzipping DSK files, which I took
to mean doing that either via the command line, or by a system() call (or exec()
or whatever) to the external program. No one mentioned zlib at that point which
was why I advocated having a compression method within the program itself. At
the time I didn't know about zlib, having only worked with compression libraries
you had to pay for. As it turned out, I wasn't being unreasonable at all about
asking for fewer exteral programs for SimCoupe to be reliant on.

PPS. Don't you ever get tired of needlessly pointing out the obvious and talking
down to me? And for goodness sake stop being pedantic about my usage of the term
PC. You knew what I meant. I knew what I meant. Everyone knew what I meant. Or
did you not know that there's also a DOS and Windows version of SimCoupe?

*sigh*
