It is linux files as tar.gz and .gz + tar.bz2 files I like to be zipped or
rar packed in split to smaller files.

The files is get by linux files. Where I have download them for linux, if I
got a zip I checking of what kind the files there is in the .zip or .rar so
if it not is linux format of .tar .tar.gz .gz or tar.bz2 I tell you of
them, else is I to try to see how big in bytes it will get after use of zip
and rar they will get and if they perhaps can be split into smaller files.

I have tried to use zip the files to make then smaller if they is over
12-13MB, the same by rar (winrar), but then do winrar only do it with make
.parth1.rar files, where zip make it as .zip .z01 and both zip -z and rar c
don't like to add comment to the files. Only for lnx4 fdn files.

  Take care,
            Gert
