Or, you could just cat the compressed files together. Says gunzip Multiple compressed files can be concatenated. In this case, gunzip will extract all members at once. ... and conversely, for `gzip -c` If there are several input files, the output consists of a sequence of independently compressed members. To obtain better compression, concatenate all input files before compressing them.	[reply] [d/l]
