Hi again Doug--

If you are using Unix, then you might find my seekable pipe library
useful. It will automatically decode compressed files on the fly.
Unfortunately, it insists on writing to a temporary file, so it
doesn't really satisfy one of your original constraints.

Using a straight Unix pipe with "gzcat" is actually a pretty good
option.
