I am beginning to think that SOCKET may soon overtake WHERE() as the
single most important IDL procedure -- it's the one procedure that lets
IDL have access to the data and information on the Web
But I am trying to figure out how to read a gzip compressed file opened
with SOCKET. Right now I can do this only by transfering all the
bytes from the unit opened by SOCKET to a local temporary disk file,
and then opening this file with OPENR,/COMPRESS to read it. So I guess
I would like either a /COMPRESS keyword to SOCKET or some way to
decompress an IDL byte array without first having to write it to disk.
