Compress and LONG LONG LONG file names...

[russell at CCU1.AUKUNI.AC.NZ]

As a workaround to the problems of compress not handling long file names, you 
can use tar to pack them into an archive and compress the archive. Just like
packaging software for distribution vai ftp. This may actually be quicker if
more than a few files are involved.

Cheers Russell.
