(A copy is already on its way out.) There isn't much reason not to squash things in this case. (And the saved space has made the difference between a completed news feed and "no space on dev 0/0" on ncoast halting news. You *do* want to receive the things, don't you?) +--------------- | Also, unix-ARC has no squashing ability. +--------------- Someone should get Phil Katz (?) to post the squashing algorithm so it can be added to UNIX ARC. I think that'd be a good idea regardless. ++Brandon -- ---- Moderator for comp.sources.misc and comp.binaries.ibm.pc ---- Brandon S.
