I was saying that it only failed on *Pentium* processors due to their differing cache architecture! I never said *anything* about the 486!" I expressed my point poorly. What I *meant* to say was that it used to work on all the Intel processor types then began failing on all of them at the same time, from the 486 to the Pentium. This doesn't lead me to believe that the failure is related to any particular processor or cache architecture so much as it is a simple bug which has crept in and whacked the gzip emulator. Jordan
