My latest version of zss (0.54) has the switches to drop a certain #
of chunk{s} from the input, and only process a certain # of chunk{s}
-- but it's kinda clunky, and after the first run, if you don't
rename the files, the second run will overwrite them... (including
the logfile...)

Sounds like I just found the next two changes/additions to zss I'm
going to make:

1) the ability to "split" the full stream without any output - so you
can get the full logfiles without having all those extra writes &
hammer the H.D.

2) have the proggie make sure that if the files already exist, to
append to them instead of overwrite them - that way multiple extracts
are much easier...

Anything else you can think of (that an old klunker like me might be
able to do :-) ???

HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
