[net.news.b] extra newline in 2.10.2 compress output

mkg@whuxle.UUCP (Marsh Gosnell) (09/25/84)

compress.c insists on generating a newline to stderr even in quiet mode.
Here is a fix that eliminates the newline.  The change is necessary because
the System V release 2 cron will send the owner of the cron entry mail if
there is any output from the command.  No mail is sent if there is no output.
This provides a nifty mechanism for cron entries to be silent unless something
breaks (e.g., no output except if an error is detected).

Here is the results of 'diff ocompress.c compress.c':
339d338
< 		putc('\n', stderr);
490c489
<         fprintf( stderr, "Compression: %5.2f%%",
---
>         fprintf( stderr, "Compression: %5.2f%%\n",
