Hi Sean,

>I am considering leaving/sending out files in their original format ie tgz etc

umm.. one of the problems there is you can't put the archive header on the
files if they're gzip'd tar files... is there a problem with info-zip and
just storing the tgz, rather than archiving it?

Take care,
Janis
