Compressed patches are more troublesome to read than normal ones. Not everybody uses the same setup. For that matter, why are so many patches being sent as attachments these days rather than being inline in the text? The patch program is quite capable of extracting an inline patch from extraneous matter. Attachments are more troublesome to read than inline patches. > Stefan -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
