Hi Tim,

Though odd, this is expected behavior for GZIP. Chris, his team and I actually discussed this when they were creating FILE_GZIP/FILE_GUNZIP.

Note that the default one-parameter call to these routines preserves the original extension; e.g.,

IDL> file_gzip, 'foo.txt'
IDL> $ls
foo.txt foo.txt.gz

with complimentary behavior for FILE_GUNZIP.
