The BZIP and GZIP samples above are already given in the  converters  sub-folder on Unix. Note that they are saved as plain ASCII files with no Unicode signature (many shells do not recognize this signature).

 Please note that batches delivered along with Ellié Computing Merge software assumes that you installed the referenced applications in C:\Program Files. If you wish to install these applications in another location, you can update the batches accordingly.
