I'm aware of only one program which uses the zopen(3) interface to compress(1), and that's `savecore'. I don't think anyone would be hurt to simply remove the functionality in its entirety. Doesn't save much space, though... -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 65536 Jul 3 16:42 /sbin/savecore* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 68919 Jul 29 11:00 obj/savecore* Furthermore, not being in any system libraries, it doesn't belong in any header files. Perhaps a zopen.h in the sources to compress if we should decide to keep it. (I would just as soon get rid of compress entirely.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
