    There is a copy of gzip in the OpenXP directory.

    Can't I use it?

    Will experiment.

    Gzip is a different animal.

    How is everyone else handling this?

    There must be some common thread over so many users.

    I forgot about that one!

    Why not?

    I gave up on it for some reason a long time ago. If/when you find the
    right command parameters for the "Download unpacker" field, share them
    here!

    But the alternative is to just tell your Boss node to send uncompressed packets.

    Have fun.

    Never tried it myself.

    Will experiment.

    It would be interesting to hear how you get on with it.

    August,

    I think my problem is in getting in the door due to the lack of authorization.

    Gotta leave my Boss Node alone, he is using the Covid time to catch up on coding something.
