Is it perhaps that way because its easier for you to maintain/append ? or might it be nicer as a standard tar file ? Background: cvs-cur.1500A.gz is 47 140 400 with ctm -q -T /net/gate/usr/tmp ../ctm/cvs-cur.1500A.gz and du -s -k 194.6 Meg with tar zcf /net/gate/usr/tmp/CTM . one gets 47 369 870 Things like src-cur.*00.tar.gz used to be in tar format, admittedly one saves a little more in ctm format, but not much, but I suspect extraction might be slower using CTM (multi-pass maybe ?) & also a friend warned me of the need to find a large tmp space else the extract would fail.
