You dislike .pso because your run in `safer' mode? Knowledge of compression and suffixes doesn't belong in every Unix program. For the system-wide savings you seem to be after, a filesystem that compresses transparently is worth considering. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Compression Cheers, Ralph.
