Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 169.233.25.159] on February 13, 2008 07:48 PM$ mgzip -c linux-2.6.23.tar > linux-2.6.23.tar.mgzip
$ ls -lh
-rw-r----- 1 ben ben 253M 2008-01-19 18:55 linux-2.6.23.tar
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ben ben 56M 2008-01-19 18:57 linux-2.6.23.tar.gzip
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ben ben 67M 2008-01-19 18:57 linux-2.6.23.tar.mgzip
