Exactly. Read RFC 1952 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1952.html) if you want to learn more about gzip's format. Specifically, "... If the compressed data did not come from a file, MTIME is set to the time at which compression started. MTIME = 0 means no time stamp is available." -n indeed assures that the time stamp (and name) isn't saved. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, May 9 2005, 1 Iyyar 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |The fact that no one understands you http://nadav.harel.org.il |doesn't mean you're an artist. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
