Hi, My application currently has files being sent to it fairly regularly, and I''d like these files to be sent in a compressed format. Besides the handling of gzip formatted compressed files (.gz) through the ZLib::GzipFile class are there any other options? Any common compression type would be fine (i.e., .tar, .zip).

Thanks. Is one generally considered to be more stable, or a better option for other reasons?

I wasn''t too happy with any of the solutions available and resorted to just using command line invokes from my rails app. Works perfectly and if you''re a bit linux-savvy, it''s a breeze to implement.
