AW: mysterious Byte increasment with compress - decompress

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Uups, good point! :)
If I want to build a generic compress and decompress handler, what is the
best way to check, if I get a file or binfile as the input? Would be
checking the file extension a good idea? Txt, xml, html: file and Rev, exe:
binfile?
But where to start this list and where to end?
Thank you
Tiemo
