Hi,
I am writing a shell program called "rcompress" which uses "compress" to compress recursively specified directories. It accepts all the options of "compress" and '-d perform uncompress' '-l dissplay the pathname of each file'.
I want to know how the program distinguishs the option [-b #] in "compress" from the directory name to be compressed.
