One last idea - what does the data actually look like? If you examine
the files and find that the first n bytes are the same in each one,
it may be possible to simply strip off that n bytes and pass the rest
to 'decompress'...
Best,
Mark
ps. I suppose it might be an idea to ask about the format of
'TCompressedstreams' (or whatever it was) in a Delphi forum.

Can you compress a copy of the original file with Rev, and compare it

maybe just off by a few bytes / headers?
Unfortunately, I don't have the original file... the files I'm
receiving are
from another program on Windows that only decompresses the data in
memory;
the files on disk are always in a compressed state, so the files I
can look
at are always compressed.
If you have a MacOS X machine (or Linux) handy, you can use gzip and
gunzip as command-line equivalents of compress() and decompress() and
see how those results compare as well...
Yeah, I've tried that already and keep getting errors that the data
is "not
compressed".
