How do I find the true size of a compressed file without uncompressing it ?
By true size, I mean the size of the equivalent uncompressed file. I am
using the standard compress/uncompress on HPUX.
The '-v' option would be nice, but in this case, the files are already
compressed.
Much Thanks,
Rakshit.

Try:
uncompress -c {FILENAME} | wc -c
This will give you the # of bytes in the uncompressed file.
