I don't see the problem. The online help system should be designed for the Debian users. If a Windows, MAC, etc user want to use the help systen he has to install gzip as helper application. But maybe we would build a compressed file system using gzip and the loop back device? cu, Marco -- Uni: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fido: 2:240/5202.15 Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semb2204/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
