That's not quite right. On the Windows commandline and GUI, gzipped files are read ok. It is writing of compressed files that is not supported because of this bug. However I find the same problem as Adrià Cereto-Massagué when using Python on Windows with most gzipped files. The files are all read ok in the OpenBabel GUI. But strangely this file http://dalkescientific.com/writings/benzodiazepine.sdf.gz works ok for me. I'll open a bug report.
