I think I have gzip here somewhere. I've used my DOS tar so seldom I'm not certain but it seemed it _used_ to do either gzip or the older compression automatically without my having to do them seperately? >Personally, I would just do it with (Basic)Linux. Yes, that's somewhat doable. I haven't installed BL to my hard drive in it's own partition as yet. I am still using the ramdrive execution. I'm waiting on another machine to setup as a Linux only machine. It gripes me a bit that the version of catdoc I downloaded is _supposed_ to be a DOS version but they used *nix archival storage for it. I would love to make some *nix software available and use a DOS-only archive for the transfers just to get even.
