Lines: 18 <> The following problems with my compress have been identified and are under investigation: 1. The packed files produced by compress are different on different machines and dependent on the vax sysgen option. 2. The exit status is not well defined (on some machines) causing the scripts to fail. 3. The function getopt() is not available in all C libraries. regards, joe -- Full-Name: Joseph M.
