texte = Hello,I am backing up my database folder on a daily basis and then wish to compress the folder.So I wonder, the folder right now is about 20 meg in size and will soon (I hope) grow much larger. When I run stuff from the command line (stuffit for linux) it takes about 20 seconds to compress the entire folder. As I am calling this from a trigger, I wonder if it makes sense to use [spawn] for the stuffing for performace reasons.Having never used the [spawn] context before, I amnot sure if this is a good place to use it.ThanksDale------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
