Hello,
I am trying to save some data to compressed binary files.  I have my
data in a struct, which I can write to a binary file just fine:

align(1) struct TradesBin {

Just a note: recently compiler changed so this align(1) have no effect 
on the fields alignment only on a struct as a whole.
So instead
align(1):
inside of struct should probably work.
   int ttim;
   int prc;
   int siz;
   short g127;
   short corr;
   char[2] cond;
   char ex;
}

auto fout = new BufferedFile(outfile, FileMode.Out);
fout.writeExact(&bin, TradesBin.sizeof);

Where bin is of type TradesBin, filled with data.  The question is how
do I now do this with zlib to get compression? Suggestions and help are
mightily appreciated!
