In fact this was real data. But of course, the rate depends on the data. I tested this on Linux so it compiles on UNIX. (There is a package at least for gentoo linux called p7zip.) It doesn't write a magic number? Weird, but probably not that hard to fix :-) Ville Oikarinen _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
