However, the following combinations do work: cat r1s.gz | gunzip > r1s zcat r1s.gz > r1s It seems only directly re-directing stdin fails. Hmm...there's something rather strange about this specific .gz file of yours. I'll have to analyse it a little more to determine what's going on. On a guess, I'd say there's a control sequence in it that's tickling the I/O handler in some interesting way. How, exactly, (if I may ask), did you create this file? It looks like random noise to me. > Regards > Thomas Hafner -- Peter A.
