Ditto on the fact that a "pax" archive is not bound to any
compression technique. See the "pax" man page for more detail.
However, if the Apple "Installer.app" will only uncompress a "gzip"
file, then that is that! But, you might be able to add some tricks to
your package, to pull off what you are looking for. One idea:
Precompress the files that make up the archive, using whatever
method is best for you. Then, run a "post____" script to decompress.
You may have to supply the decompression tool in the package itself,
if not a standard MacOS X installed item. This would of course reduce
your gains!
have fun,
-Rick
