But zmore is smart enough to figure out what to do with several compression techniques, or even to handle non-compressed files very trivially and without hassle. I've changed my /etc/newsyslog.conf from J to Z simply so that I could zmore the files rather than pipe the file or dress up an alias named bmore or similar. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
