    From ALAN@1:135/392 to ALL on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 14:46:08
    Hi,

    I am having a hard time getting my uploads to compress and send.

    I keep getting errors back each time I try to use gzip or bzip2.

    What do I enter after bzip2?

    Seems "UPFILE" makes since "DOWNFILE" works with gzip

    So, I delete all text in the UPLINK side and it passess through and ends
    up gathering my messages fine.

    So, I have to use convential bbses to post.

    Anybody got some experience with this?

    Alan

    HALFWAY THERE!!!

    I avoid compression on my own oubound messages. The quantity
    doesn't warrant additional processisng. OpenXp does a fine job
    creating the uncompressed .PKT files.
