We have several beta testers who keep us honest on exactly this point;
they use compilers that do not take //. Personally I wish gcc could
be configured not to have these little non-ANSI-isms ...

Shouldn't be. Did you use "gzip -9"? For instance, I get these sorts
of numbers on a directory full of C source files:

$ ls -l z.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgl users 142048 Sep 25 20:40 z.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgl users 156389 Sep 25 20:41 z.zip
