I have a bunch of files on our UNIX system, which I'm downloading en-masse to my Amiga (since I'm leaving soon to take a sabatical, and I want to take the stuff with me). To cut down on time, I compressed the files with compress(1). It produces file names like strings.c.Z. Using Unix Kermit and VT100 (v2.2?) on my Amiga, these come out as strings.cxz. Now I have to go back by hand and change all these files to strings.c.z so that compress -d will uncompress them. Does anyone know what is going on here? Is this fixed in a more recent release of vt100? As a secondary problem (which I can live with), all my nicely-thought-out mixed case file names are converted to lower case. There seems to be a #defined constant that controls this. Is there any reason not to turn this off? Are there any side effects? As a tertiary problem, compress for the Amiga (thanks, Fred) doesn't seem to remove the old file when it creates the new one. Once again, this one I can live with. The code (on fish disk 6) to do this is all #ifdef-ed out if your not running unix. There's clearly some code in that area that hasn't a hope on an amiga, but some of it looks OK. Any gotcha's in there before I go and put the unlink code back in? Michael
