Gzip / compression handling? [message #32260]

Does anyone know how to handle compressed files in IDL?
Is the /COMPRESS keyword platform-independent?

Maybe more importantly, I want to take a data stream over a network that
is compressed with gzip, and uncompress it in memory. Any easy way of
doing this? I would like to avoid writing the stream to disk and then
reading it back in using the /COMPRESS keyword to OPENR, as that might
introduce lots of overhead.

Thanks.

Doug
