- I don't use Gzip very often, and when I do, it's been just to decompress
- the odd downloaded file. But I sat down recently to try integrating it
- with a couple sharaware directory browsers (which wasn't fun), and in
- the debugging process I've come across a very weird error: it doesn't
- want to decompress about 1/4 of the files it compresses! All I'm doing
- is a simple
-
- gzip >ram:arcfile.gz -c dh2:normfile
-
- and when I try uncompressing them, the lengths are slightly different!
- When I run a
-
- gzip -t arcfile.gz
-
- I get "invalid compressed data--crc error"! Am I doing something dumb,
- or is there a bug in Gzip? I'm using the standard 1.2.4 version (the only
- version as far as I know), and there really aren't that many options, so
- I don't see what I could change. Thanks for any input.
