DESCRIPTION

       MBK_OUT_FILTER sets the output filter for writting compressed Alliance files. Filter is typically a string containing filename and options.
       This  filter  must  read  non compressed data flow on it standard input and write compressed data flow on it standard output. If a non com-
       pressed version of a file exist in the same target directory the designer want the save a file's compressed version, to	ensure	that  file
       will  be  read later and not the non compressed one, the non compressed file is DELETED.  To activate filters, variable MBK_FILTER_SFX must
       be set.

EXAMPLE

       Writing compressed files with gzip :
	    setenv MBK_OUT_FILTER "/asim/gnu/bin/gzip -c"
	    setenv MBK_FILTER_SFX ".gz"
