Hello,

I have a binary file type that includes a zlib compressed data block (ie not gzip). Is anyone aware of a way using base R or a CRAN package to decompress this kind of data (from disk or memory). So far I have found Rcompression::decompress on omegahat, but I would prefer to keep dependencies on CRAN (or bioconductor). I am also trying to avoid writing yet another C level interface to part of zlib.

Many thanks for any pointers,

Greg.
