For the first problem, I don't have more tests, the problem happens only with special input data, the 15 'a's is the only example I have (you can vary the 15 a little bit and you can change the letter, but in principle I don't have really new tests). For gzencode() I think the best testing method would be, if you take arbitray strings, gzencode() them and feed it to gzip -t or compare the string to the output of gzip -c . But I don't know if that's allowed in your testing environment (gzip normally isn't avalaible on windows ...). Stefan -- Stefan Röhrich stefan@roehri.ch, sr@linux.de http://www.roehri.ch/~sr/
