Can it be fed straight gzip file data, or does it need the file header stripping from it first? I think I usually pass everything to zlib's inflate, but it may well detect and skip it. Hi, The whole gz file. In fact I explicitly test for the gzip "magic number" bytes at the beginning - it's one of the few opportunities to sanity-check the input! Otherwise, a typo in your source address would be very likely to crash the machine, and I thought this was perhaps a little user-unfriendly... Cheers, Andrew PS. By the way, Sourceforge have approved the project and so the source files are now available. -- --- Andrew Collier http://www.intensity.org.uk/ --- --
