- If you want to compress a file in TOS, you should give a filename without
- an extension like this, otherwise it will try to create filename.ext.z,
- which is not allowed in TOS ( unless you use UNIXMODE ):
-
- compress filename -> creates filename.z where filename.z
- is compressed
-
-
- If you want to uncompress a file in TOS, it should have the extension .z
- and you must do the following:
-
- compress -d filename.z -> creates filename where filename
- is uncompressed
-
- Ciao, Stefan.
