Compress does not have the highest compression rate, but it is one of the fastest programs to compress data. Compress is the defacto standard in the UNIX community for compressing files. gunzip will uncompress .Z files as well. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) -- Backup not found: (A)bort (R)etry (P)anic _______________________________________________________
