* MHO, it appears that gzip is built static even though it is installed * in /usr/bin. Any idea why this is? === >> cvs log Makefile | less : revision 1.6 date: 1994/06/15 19:16:58; author: jkh; state: Exp; lines: +1 -0 branches: 1.6.6; Make gzip static by default. This is needed because it's such a frequent companion to tar. : === I guess what he meant was because it could be used to recover from the lib.tar.gz file lying somewhere. Satoshi
