Lzma can only compress single files. Maybe you can use tar or 7zip. The best was is to realize same thing like with bzip2 but be compatible.

So you can choose between 3 formats and can mix it like you want. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
