Hi, proposal for 5.7-CVS: make zlib compression instead of RLE the default setting, probably modifying: grass57/lib/gis > grep GRASS_INT_ZLIB * opencell.c: COMPRESSION_TYPE = getenv("GRASS_INT_ZLIB") ? 2 : 1; Are there objections? I am, however, not sure, how to apply such change (without breaking things). Markus
