Henry,
I just checked in the code to auto-detect/uncompress files which have been
compressed with gzip.
File extension is unimportant.
Gzip is designed to compress a single file. Therefore, it is pretty
straightforward.
An associate from the University of Salamanca told me that he thought
Chime only supports .gz files.
hemoglobin.pdb 442.017 bytes
hemoglobin.pdb.gz 106.371 bytes
It is less clear to me whether/how we should support something like .zip
(.jar) files. This file format is for a set of files (a directory tree)
rather than for a single file. Therefore, to support it we need to either:
1. always take the first file inside the .zip file
or
2. provide some mechanism for the user to specify which file
inside the .zip archive they want to select.
I didn't feel like working on this right now, so I did *not* add any
support for .zip compression.
Developers:
I checked this into both the B6 branch and HEAD.
