Of course, but I'd already done that, just as I'd already written the uncompressed tar file to disk. I don't think it would be fair to compare a full read/write cycle with compression against just reading without compression. If your point is that there are algorithms which are much slower at compressing than at uncompressing, I agree. There are others which aren't, though. ___ Trevor Johnson
