I thought I'd remembered an option like that, but when I went to look for them just now I couldn't find them to try out. What I did fine was gzip and gunzip, which are not at all the same thing of course, and both 121K... Maybe that's what I was thinking of? Looking on the linux box I find that both of these are listed in /usr/bin but are symlinks to the same names in /bin, and /bin/gunzip is a symlink to /bin/gzip... And "zip" and "unzip" (again in /usr/bin) are indeed separate utilities. Maybe I was thinking of gzip/gunzip all along? I guess it's apparent how much and how recently I've looked in those directories on either machine. :-) JB> I've got a dos program somewhere that simulates renaming the JB> executable. the source is about 12 lines of C That might be of some interest. ---* Origin: TANSTAAFL BBS 717-838-8539 (1:270/615) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 270/615 150/220 379/1 396/45 106/2000 633/267 |
