In most programs, there is a "depth" or "pass number" parameter that does just this already. If you try to compress again, the overhead induced by the container (headers and such) will ultimately increase the file size. Oh, BTW, if you don't need file permissions, just use 7zip directly on the directories you want to compress: you will avoid tar format overhead. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
