I have been considering the following:
- Uncompressing the full file to determine its length..
        But this is very computationally inefficient for large files...
- Unpacking attrib file but this seems
        This seems best, but I'm not sure what are the best/easiest
        subroutines for parsing the attrib file
        (I looked at Holger's BackupPC_attribCheck and to my naive eyes it
        looked pretty complicate)

So are there any higher level subroutines I could use as a basis? If
so, which ones...

Thanks
