[Tutor] gzip files

[Felix.Toran@esa.int]

Hi all again!

As you say, that files cannot be decompressed using standard modules. I have
finally solved the problem just as you say: a os.system( ) call to a UNIX-like
tool for windows.

The tool is called COMP430D, and can be downloaded from
http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/unix.html

Thanks!
Felix.

.Z files are compressed using compress, not gzip. I don't know how to
decompress them using Python, other than doing an os.system() call to
uncompress.
