- - 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).
