Xgzip 1.1 is an X interface for gzip. I've changed a few things since the
last version. It is now impossible to mess up the filename, like you could
in earlier versions by pressing the zip and unzip buttons too much. Not that
anyone noticed that problem(or even uses this app, for that matter ;) but it
was something that always annoyed me. The one other thing I did was clean
up my code a bit(ok, so it's still sloppy, and poorly written, but hey, I'm
still a beginner), and added lots of comments so you can actually understand
my messy of code. You MUST have gzip already installed on your system
(as it uses system() calls to invoke gzip). And you MUST also have the 
V library . To get the V library(The guy who wrote this is a God), check out

I hope you find this even the slightest bit useful. This is my first attempt
at programming something of any use. Let me know what you think.

In the next version, I might add support for "tar" as well, and change the
name to Vtgz or something like that. If I get the time, that is ;)


To compile:
1.Make sure you unzip Xgzip to your v directory.

2. Edit the makefile and change the ARCH variable to fit your platform. Then
change the HOMEV to wherever you keep v. And last, change VLibDir.

3. Type "make" and it should(I hope) compile.
