NAME

       MBK_OUT_FILTER - define the input filter

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 compressed 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"
