I have had, a few times, an interesting thing happen to me when using
this newer version of compress:
$Header: compress.c,v 4.0 85/07/30 12:50:00 joe Release $
Options: BITS = 16
When I am in the middle of 'zcat'ing a file, and I stop/interrupt, suddenly
the file I was looking at disappears and is gone without a trace.
Can anyone explain why this is so? I think I will revert back to the older
version of compress that I had, as I never had problems with it.
Thanks,
Forrie
PS: I snarfed this version of compress from the gnu archives on
prep.ai.mit.edu ...
