Thanks. I'm assuming fixing the implementation to do that will break binary compatability with the "old" compressed format.


Looks like it - unless you find an unused field to stick this in, which I doubt.

If you are into medling with the implementation then maybe I'm found
something which might help you -

The stream of bzip2 output seems to be partitioned into blocks.
If I get it right then each block has in its header also the number
of bytes in the original uncompressed block (in two fields of 32 bits
each) , maybe you can walk through the headers and add up these numbers
from the headers?

Hope this helps, I'd be curios to hear what you came up with.

Cheers,
