    RT> Hi,   
      
    RT> Any one have a compress.cfg file for squish on Linux    
    RT> that uses zip/unzip. Am    
    RT> setting up a point system ifcico/squish/timed on linux.   
      
   I don't know if I've actually used the zip option in my Linux configuration   
   yet, but at the end of this message is my compress.cfg file that includes a   
   zip/unzip configuration.   
      
    RT> Thanks,   
      
   You're welcome.  Let me know how things go....

   === Cut here ===   
    COMPRESS.CFG contains entries for the various compression programs which   
    you may wish to use with Squish and Maximus.  Each compression progrm   
    should have its own separate entry, and each entry should begin with   
    the text 'Archiver ', where  is a short name which can   
    be used to refer to the archiver in SQUISH.CFG.   
      
    IMPORTANT NOTE:  the order of the archiver entries within this file   
    is VERY important.  The FIRST archiver specified will be used as   
    a default, if no 'Pack' statement exists for any given node in   
    SQUISH.CFG.   
      
    However, when trying to unpack a compressed file, the list of   
    archivers is scanned in a REVERSE order.  This is especially important   
    in the case of ARC and PAK files, since PAK and ARC use the same   
    identification character at the beginning of the file.  (The identity   
    of a PAK-type file must be checked first, in case the file uses a PAK   
    compression method, which PKArc and friends can't handle.)  This is   
    why PAK is listed AFTER PKArc in the distribution control file.

   Archiver ARC   
      
           ; The 'Extension' keyword tells Squish that archives of this   
           ; flavour will commonly use the specified file extension.   
           ; This isn't used for decompressing inbound mail packets, but   
           ; Squish needs to know about it anyway.   
      
           Extension       ARC   
      
           ; Unless you are familiar with the internals of compression   
           ; programs, the `Ident' keyword (see below) should not be   
           ; modified.  Two numbers follow the keyword, each separated by   
           ; a comma.  When attempting to decompress an archive of an   
           ; unknown type, Max and Squish will use this informtion to   
           ; automatically identify different types of archives.   
           ;   
           ; The first number after 'Ident' contains the OFFSET at which   
           ; a special identifying marker can be located.  Positive   
           ; entries work in the expected manner, whereas negative   
           ; entries can be used to indicate offsets from the END of a   
           ; compressed file.  However, an offset of "-2" is the LAST   
           ; character, and an offset of "-3" is the SECOND-LAST   
           ; character, etc.   
           ;   
           ; Following the OFFSET is a series of hexadecimal numbers   
           ; which represent the text which can be found at the specified   
           ; offset in the compressed mail bundle.  Each byte in the   
           ; compressed file should be represented by the appropriate   
           ; hexadecimal character.  For example, an uppercase 'A' can be   
           ; represented with a '41', which is the ASCII code for 'A' (in   
           ; hexadecimal).  Strings of characters may also be recognized   
           ; by simply specifying more than one sequence of bytes.  (For   
           ; an example, see the 'Ident' keyword for PKZip or ZOO.)
