Works great. I'm not completely clear on the syntax, but my other script performs a diff between each unix and win file:

Code:
diff file1.txt Winfile1.txt 
diff file2.txt Winfile2.txt

I imagine it's something like

Code:
ls *.txt | xargs diff{*(^Win).txt *Win}  ???

It needs to diff every non-Win file with every Win-file that shares the same name (minus the "Win" of course). And they are stored in order in the directory (none of my files start alphabetically below "W" ) if it helps any.

/ls *.txt

file1.txt
file2.txt
...
Winfile1.txt
Winfile2.txt
...

Thanks again Smilie

bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files SYNOPSIS
bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ] bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ] DESCRIPTION
Bzcmp and bzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on bzip2 compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to cmp or diff. If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an uncompressed file1.bz2. If two files are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff. The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +--------------------+-----------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Availability | SUNWbzip | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Interface Stability | Committed | +--------------------+-----------------+ SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), bzmore(1), bzless(1), bzgrep(1), bzip2(1) BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified. BZDIFF(1)
