} My problem: 'zfo' does not recognise '+' (as in 'zfo +comp_folder').
I quote from the zfolder script:
# Bug: can't handle names beginning with + or ~
# (use file completion: zfo +^[name where ^[ is escape)
} The cause should be easy to find and fix, but I don't have the time
} to play with it. So for the time being I do 'cd $folder' and continue
} without the '+'.
If it were easy to find and fix, believe me, I would have. It isn't a
question of "finding" -- the problem is that the shell, which must be
used to run compress/uncompress with I/O redirected to or from the target
folder, does not understand "+" as a file metachar. Without invoking
and additional process, say `echo +name | sed s/+/$folder/` (which fails
if $folder isn't set) there is no way for zfolder to use "+".
