[Windows user stupid question...] Q.I can't find a mount_tar command, I wonder why ! A.because it would be silly and no doubt have a 64MB limit. I think I've seen this question go past before, but more along the lines of why can't I read my "stackered/compressed windows drive?" Well, I don't use windows unless I really have to, so that's not a problem, all I'd like is to have a compressed ufs or something. I can happily tar up all my man pages, the handbook, even virtually all my executables. (which is probably a stupid idea!) However I _can't_ have a filesystem which is just plain compressed. Is anyone working on this, has it been done, have I missed something? If not are there any plans to do this, and if not why not ? Thanks, Steve Roome.
