SAVE compress and Gzip [message #71459]

Hi,

I'm trying to compress save files already done.

If I compress the sav files in the unix terminal with Gzip, then IDL
"RESTORE" command does not recognize them:
IDL> save, a, filename='test.sav'
IDL> exit
$ gzip test.sav
$ idl
IDL> restore, 'test.sav.gz'
% RESTORE: Not a valid save file: test.sav.gz

This trick worked for binary files and OPEN command.

Any ideas how can I manage to compress lots of save files already
done, creating save files which can be directly opened from inside
IDL?

Thanks in advance,
Xavi
