Compressing modules

Hello,
what about creating modules for tar/zlib/bzip2 with a
abstraction layer for
all kind of compressions?
I'm new to GST, the latest version 2.2 has been released in
2005, i think
GST should continue to live and become the best Smalltalk
solution, also
over Squeak.

Bye.

It's already there -- it's called VFS and it uses shell
scripts or 
external programs as the "abstraction layer".  I
don't know if it has 
bitrotten, and for sure having instead a module that wraps
zlib or bzip2 
would be a good idea.

Yes, i've seen VFS (a superficial view of it), but maybe
it'is better to
have a module instead of dealing with console.

You can extend VFS with new classes that don't use the shell
-- the 
structure is there, what is needed is the modules, which as
I said is a 
good idea.  In fact, the Midnight Commander for example does
not use 
shell scripts for "tar" files.
