Not sure.  I dunno if the zlib module will speak uncompress or not.  If
worst comes to worst, you have the code right there in the gzip source
code; you could implement your own uncompress, painful though it might be.


% b) The files are not to be tampered with as the requirements call for
% them to be registered 
%    in a database for reference purpose. 

Well, that's good, then; you don't have to be writing back to them in
compress format :-)  All you need is to decompress and go...
