I will not be able to get to this until this weekend. Basically, it's nothing more than a CVS diff on my machine, or I can upload the full /sys directory (like Poul wanted). I can't give him direct access because all incoming connections are firewalled by the corporate gateway. > I want to mount my home source directory on top of a FreeBSD CD and > compile as if the CD were writable.

Two of John's students have already implemented one of these; I have the code here, but only on the condition that it not be redistributed. I like the idea of block compression better than file compression. It goes a long way towards using the character set as a compression attribute (ie: an ISO-8859-1 character set is a "compressed" ISO-10646/16 character set, assuming you use only ISO-8859-1 characters... etc.). You may wish to check with John directly re compression layer code. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
