zip is younger than either tar or cpio, so "old" is an invalid criticism. And I reject the assertion that, just because it came from the DOS world, therefore it must be crufty. That is just us-vs-them prejudice. Personally, I think that the zip archive format is quite well designed. Granted, it doesn't support all the detailed semantics of Unix filesystems, but it does a very good job of representing a tree-structured hierarchy of files. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
