As for checking the compress command, perhaps we can accomplish it by comparing version information of the program: $ compress --version compress 1.4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

It says Jean-loup Gailly; he invented the gzip compression method, but not the LZW method used by the original compress program. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11340> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
