From experience: Indeed lrzip has superior compression on large, files but is extremely slow. Use if you're cramped for space. (IMHO) Plus it's a one-file-at-a time compressor. For multiple files, you first have to round them up in an uncompressed archive such as with tar or with zip -0, and then use lrzip. Additionally, it offers no significant improvement if used on already compressed media (movies, music formats). IHTH _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L.
