Sorry, That makes absolutely no sense. I should avoid posting this late at night. Any errors in the underlying compressed data have the possibility of cascading down and resulting in a whole lot more errors later in the file. I think that you had said (in the Debian list) that afio does per-file compression, so if you want errors to be restricted to only within single files, that's probably the best thing to do. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@xxxxxxxxx> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
