Heelo Paul,

 BL> If I remove the cunbatch line *both* my gzip and compress.exe
 BL> say it is a stuffed file. If I compress a file using my
 BL> compress (without the cunbatch line), then both gzip and
 BL> compress handle it.

 BL> I have tried removing the cunbatch line several ways. First I
 BL> just took it out leaving the file shorter, then I overwrote it
 BL> with 0x00, 0x20 and 0xFF. Nothing works.

 PE> No, you should delete the whole cunbatch line, including the
 PE> newline character which I believe is there, and leave the file
 PE> shorter. 

  I was using text editors to remove the line, and the bloody things
were character-translating the 0x00 that gzip et al uses to identify
compression. It's okay now... and working.

  Now all I have to do is work out how to send you a message. I put a
proper message in \spool but it didn't get sent. Where do you put it
so that UUCICO recognises it? I get all your messages in spool/scorpio
and the first time, UUCICO created the \scorpio directory. I wonder if
I have to create a \Ubobl directory for my uploads?

Bob
