Yes, and do the peripheral stuff to support old archives etc. We also need to be careful about the places where we do file-position-arithmetic - if there are any, I can't recall. I am not sure we need to worry about whether zlib supports large files since I am pretty sure we don't use zlib for file IO - we just pass it in-memory blocks; so it should work no matter how much data is in the stream. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Philip Warner | __---_____ Albatross Consulting Pty.
