no way… i’d better put my head on the book of chemistry but i cannot stand for more than 10minutes

so… i’m studying the “tar” source code…

confirm (const char *message_action, const char *message_name)
{
  static FILE *confirm_file;
  static int confirm_file_EOF;
  bool status = false;

  if (!confirm_file)
    {
      if (archive == 0 || stdin_used_by)
        {
          confirm_file = fopen (TTY_NAME, "r");
          if (! confirm_file)
            open_fatal (TTY_NAME);
        }
      else
        {
...

probably i’d find a way to implement my compression algorithm

first, i’ll cut&paste the stuff concerning automake & autoconf, i need them

have fun… 😉
