In the UNIX setup, compress and uncompress are links to the same file, and the program figures out what to do by which way it was called (it looks in arg[0]). There aren't 3 copies on the fish disk, and anyways, I wouldn't want to keep three copies of the same program around, so I use the -d flag to get the right results. As I recall, it wasn't documented, but I did find it in the code (thank god for source). > > -Rico >-- >[NSA food: terrorist, cryptography, DES, drugs, CIA, secret, decode, foo] >[CSIS food: supermailbox, tuna, fiberglass coffins, Mirabel, microfiche] Cute. Are we supposed to infer something about the levels of paranoia of the two services? Michael
