- Most interestingly enough, anyone who tried to use MacGzip 1.0 to
- decompress file will find this out sooner or later, that it
- requires more memory size than the size of the gziped file. To
- successfully decompress a 4mb gziped file (which is very often),
- MacGzip would have to have its recommended memory size set up to
- 8mb.
