What's "compression"? It taxes my understanding that the EFC can handle arbitrary binary data except that it balks at that which is "created using compression". Are there other restrictions on binary data? Or does it simply mean to aver that data compressed subsequent to encryption can not be decrypted prior to decompression? -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
