- rnews/unbatch are now aware of gzip; rnews creates the suffix `.z' for
gzip files, '.Z' for compressed ones. Well, AmigaDOS doesn't make any
difference between them, but at least you have theoretically a chance
to differentiate in your scripts =:->
- unbatch does support the Dillon-config-variables `UNCOMPRESS', `MELT'
and `GUNZIP' (and some more):
GetConfig("GUNZIP", "gzip -d")
GetConfig("MELT", "freeze -d")
GetConfig("UNCOMPRESS", "compress -d")
GetConfig("BDECODE", "bdecode")
GetConfig("RELAYNEWS", "relaynews")
Thus, you are now able to use `gzip -d' also for compressed files
(gzip is said to be able to deal with them too, ways faster than
(un)compress does).
