+1 to doing away with .Z files.  I've never understood why we have .gz and
.Z ...

Subject: tar.Z  files


I have a  simple  question .
Why do we carry  tar.gz and  tar.Z versions  at the  same time?

I   think  carry  tar.gz is  enough. tar.Z's  are taking
bandwith and  disk  space.

wuftpd  supports  on the  fly  translation  from .tar.gz to
tar.Z, if  there  are people  who still can not handle  tar.gz.

Can we move away  from .Z files ?

Regards
Mustafa Akgul

I also would gladly live without tar.Z files.

It would be great ... but someone may still be using something
else than wuftpd (without on-fly conversion) ...

Or - check in the log files how many people are actually
retrieving *.Z files instead of *.gz ?

not too many from my site - and probably mostly by mistake ;-)
