BTX I guess, since libstand has zipfs.... but then again, what about the floppy that can't fit BTX, only the standard bootblocks? My opinion is kzip should leave, but only when something better comes along. I'll look at how small a bare-bones gunzip can be. Brian Feldman On Wed, 28 Oct 1998, Jordan K.
