All,

I don't even have a clue how to start this one, so am looking for a little help.

I've got a directory with a large number of gzipped files in it (over
110k) along with a few thousand uncompressed files.

I'd like to find the average uncompressed size of the gzipped files,
and ignore the uncompressed files.

How on earth would I go about doing that with the default shell (no
bash or other shells installed), or in perl, or something like that.
I'm no scripter of any great expertise, and am just stumbling over
this trying to find an approach.

Many thanks for any help,

Kurt
