Note, gzip1.07 (the copy from bsd.coe) is in patch kit 0.2.3, the sources live in /usr/src/contrib, this is part of the patch that adds /usr/src/contrib to the standard source tree. ahhh grep contrib /patch/installed/PATCH.. PATCH00114 does this. A soon to be release patch kit patch will upgrade tar to the one from bsd.coe. >Thanks go to Gary Browning who did the initial work on gzip. >Nate >-- >osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | Still trying to find a good reason for >nate@cs.montana.edu | these 'computer' things.
