I suspect that what you want doesn't exist. I remember a slick utility that is available for Windows 9x called Zip Folders. It causes .zip files to be presented as a directory. That kind of thing would be the slick solution to what you want but I don't think such a thing exists for FreeBSD. 1/8/2002 7:10:11 AM, unix <unix@donfishback.com> wrote: >On Monday 07 January 2002 11:36, unix wrote: >> I need suggestions on how to compress directories while enabling regular >> programs to access files in the directories without special commands or >> naming. >> >> I have a large amount (50 gigs) of data kept in text files that I need to >> access through a java program.
