I would be very against removing .gz versions from php.net, bz2 support on windows is poor at best, I already have winzip and winrar on my computer and I don't really want another dearchiver, .gz is a common format for anyone using linux stuff on windows and they can deal with it, bz2 isnt really that common (most things are available in .tgz and .bz2 or just .tgz) and it would mean A LOT of people having to go find more archivers... its only a few megs in the CVS so just leave it there... it does no harm. - James -- James Moore jmoore@php.net Downing College Cambridge CB2 1DQ
