Ken, from the man page for gunzip:

gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each file
whose name ends with .gz, -gz, .z, -z, _z or .Z and which begins with the correct magic number with an uncompressed file without the original
       extension.


So I'm guessing that a shell call to gunzip should be able to cope...


Best,

Mark

Hey all... I may be getting some files sent to me that were compressed using
the public zlib library.

My understanding is that the compress() and decompress() functions are built as wrappers around the zlib library, but may require certain headers or length bytes or something that these raw zlib-compressed files may not have.

Any ideas on how I can decompress these files with Rev?
