Right, we won't support things which are not in the standard or at least described in a draft of whom we know that it will end up as a standard. For interoperability we can't use new compression algorithms. There is also the issue that adding algorithms does not help to keep a standard clean. I was not in favor of bzip2 for that reasons and in retrospective I's better not pushed the ZLIB algorithm. Let each tool do what it can do best. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
