GZip

Water Chip? Been There, Done That
hey guys, how do I compress files with gzip? I mean I want my mod to be in .dat format just like the patch from interplay, patch0001.dat.

I thik it'll be better to make that dat file for gore patch, than to extract all frm files, there is more than a 160 megs of uncompressed files!

I have a really good GunZip prog called ARJfolder. I could email it to you or tell you where to download it from. I think that it is freeware. Plus it is much easier to use then Gzip itself. Also, there is a nother program which I could get for you if you know what I mean (It's not too big I hope).

Actually, they only unzip gzips...

And I need to compress it to make a mod. It says something about force compression etc. I tried running it from dos and it says this program can only be run under win95 or higher.

I'm beggining to feel like an Old Fart...

You must run it from dos (I was mixin it up with another program). The command line is something like this:
c:\gzip\gzip -f
And that starts the zipping process. But then yuo have to find the filename, which I haven't figured out how to do yet.

Well, i figured out gzip can only contain one file...it cannot compress more than one...i would look at the program undat...or f2re..the ones we use to extract files out of the master.dat there has to be a way to recompress them
