Reply-To: aarone@homer.prahran.swin.edu.au X-Pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-Mailer: PMail v3.0 (R1a) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi All.. I am trying to find a way to gzip a directory tree whilst still keeping the files in that directory tree intact so when I gunzip them, I get an exact copy of what I had formerly, in the same tree... Like you can in pkzip etc.. I can make it so it puts it all in one file, but it doesnt separate it into is directories and files.. Its just a lump of files! I am running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 Please reply direct as I am not a member of the list.. Thank YOU!! Aaron Elliott, CS&IT. [VK3AJQ] Swinburne University of Technology, Prahran Campus. Melbourne Australia.
