running gzip with the system function

2001-04-30 Thread lance turner
mmands and programs such as: $status = system("ls -l"); $status = system("tar -cvf $filename $directory"); What does the 65280 status mean? Is this the correct way to run a program such as gzip? Is there another method for doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. lance turner
