- There was a package posted to usenet a year or so ago that did
- decompression on files that were fopen'ed. The idea was, you
- compressed the files (using their utility), then read them just
- like you would a standard file. The decompression was done on
- the fly, transparently to the programmer. It was great for
- help files, etc. that were compressed, but had to be read by the
- code.
