Supposing that you want an archive named ARCTEST then the syntax is: lzw '-f arctest -s @[log in to unmask] Regards Paul H.

Author: Curtis Larsen <[log in to unmask]> at CCGATE Date: 06/05/98 08:52 Could someone please tell me the syntax to use in getting LZW to create a compressed file from a fileset such as "@[log in to unmask]"? I don't see "batch input" mentioned in the examples. Thanks!
