This is study to support other compressions for .pet .

The current compression used by the petget install utility is gzip/gz .

There had been discussion on the forum to add other/newer compressions .

Today the whole bunch of files ,

working until now :
pet2tgz and similar functions .

Mime handling is handled as a work around by a /root/my-roxapps/mime.sh .

first alpha snapshot based on Puppy-430 : likely not bugfree

was fixing several of mine and
one misleading error message in
downloadpkgs.sh
where
ONEFILE was "pet_packages-4/dotpuphandler-0.0.4-2.pet"
changed to
BN_ONEFILE="${ONEFILE##*/}"
if [ -f /root/"$BN_ONEFILE" ];then

also added a function file with three functions from /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
if /tmp/pup_event_sizefreem file does not exist ie the daemon was stopped by eventmanager .
