But almost all of them only compress files containing data that is of
interest to them. Your predilection for compressing huge files that
contain only small blocks of data that are of any interest to you makes
you relatively unique here, and your personal workaround largely
irrelevant to readers. To post such a "solution" once is excusable but a
search of the c.s.m.s archives will reveal that you have done it umpteen
times now and I always think "oh no, here we go again". It is not like
anyone has ever posted a question here for which your method is the
answer, it is not a FAQ but a NAQ, a Never Asked Question, for which you
seem to take great delight in repeatedly providing the always unwanted
answer.
