One thing I like about compress is that it can take it's input from stdin, and output to stdout. I can then use PIPE: to buffer data going into the compress (since disk IO is much faster than compress can handle) and thus get 100% utilization of the CPU decompressing my VD0: from floppy. (how's that for a mouthful!) -Matt
