I have it on the BSDs and Solaris too. But most people don't. It doesn't come in as a standard in most operating systems. ok, point for you Zeev, but Emile did not say, you should stop delivering .tar.gz, but in addition offer this .bz2 thing. So why not, if at least those modem-users

Guys, I didn't put any words in Emile's mouth. I know he didn't suggest stopping to distribute .gz files. I was just describing the full 'logical path' to why I don't think that using bzip2 is a very hot idea. Essentially I was saying (a) We can't give up .gz/.zip (b) .bz2 isn't all that

I would welcome the win32 distributions packed with bzip2 as well. This algorithm is superior to anything else I know (well, at least in compression ratio), and is available to win32 users as well. Not only as a commandline tool, but as a plugin for the very popular wincmd32 too. Anything

Hum, having just contributed to said download size... we've done our best to minimize the KLOC, removing some cruft and moving a couple of functions into a (separate) library, but we'd be down to stripping comments to go further... the only other thing I could suggest is using bzip2

Can we propose extensions outside of the main distribution ? I like the idea of downloading what you want. Through a form, you would chose the extensions you need, then submit and receive a custom GZIP or BZ2 file. It sounds doable. Any constraint, dependency to work out ? Yes, the m4
