If I just gzip and gunzip a file, I don't get it
either. I gziped these in batch ??
There is a constant (as far as I've examined) 512
bytes on front, with a few ID things, like file name,
etc, with lots of 0's.
On the end, there's many more bytes, well over 1000.
Haven't determined yet if it's a constant number
(probably is).
I can write such a program, just wondered if I did
something wrong procedurally, so I'll "don't to that"
anymore. Or if there was a gunzip option (which I
don't see) that would undo it.
Thanks.
