So you're interested in using GZIP with your batched news and GIGO, eh?
Follow these steps:
o Obtain the _modified_ gzip executables made specifically for GIGO.
You should have them already, if you are reading this.
o Make sure your HOST is going to understand gzip'ed news
sent to his system (uses #! gunbatch instead of #! cunbatch)
o ask your host to start _sending_ you gzip'd batches
Now, for the technical part:
Go to your gateway.cfg file; you are going to modify your
COMPRESS, DECOMPRESS, and FASTCOMPRESS statements to:
COMPRESS GZIP.EXE -m ; -m says create #! gunbatch
DECOMRESS GZIP.EXE -d ; -d says decompress
FASTCOMPRESS ; tells GIGO you are using a GIGO specific
; version of the compression software
Voila .. :-)
NOTE: IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE OS/2 VERSION OF GIGO, YOU MUST BE RUNNING
THE OS/2 VERSION OF COMPRESS OR GZIP! Most other utilities can be
ran as DOS applications, but the compression software must be the
proper version for the operating system you are running under.
