I guess it's time to do backups :-(.

I copied the cpiosize program posted recently to "gators", my 7300 and ran it
do see how many disks a full backup would take.  I knew it would be a lot but I
was still shocked to see "96".  I am looking for a way to use "compress" to
save a little on that number.  I tried compiling the public domain tar that
was posted recently and it failed.  Does anyone have a simple scheme (aka
shell script) that might do this?  BTW, I have 3.51a.  Please reply by mail and
I'll summerize.  Thanks in advance.
