Er, no kidding.  The 'g' script is there to aid in development.  We generally transfer a new player binary across to mk1 players using Zmodem over serial.  Obviously, we compress it first.

The 'g' script, which lives in /empeg/bin, decompresses player.gz and replaces the original player with it.

My copy (v1.01-beta2) appears to verify that there's a player.gz file there first.

Perhaps it's broken, or earlier copies were less paranoid.  I'll check it when I get into work later.
