Frankly, I don't understand the numbers, especially 0x9a00. My idea is: since libz is already on boot floppy, replacing gzip with minigzip should give about size of libz, that is 40K. To be more precise, 45056 - 8192 = 36904 text (sizes of dynamically linked binaries) > gzip is only 16K larger than minigzip for statically > linked binaries. More than I thought. Dima
