Hi Filip,

Unfortunately, our documentation was incorrect. The bedGraphToBigWig 
program doesn't accept gzipped bedGraph files as input. I have removed 
that line from the help page. I'm sorry our documentation wasn't correct.

Please contact the mail list ([email protected]) again if you have any 
further questions.
