I wrote some code about 6 years ago where I was able to read gzip'-compressed a byte at a time. While it is true that you have to get through the GZip'd file at least as far as the compression headers, once you get past the headers and to the actually compressed content, you can read that content in a progressive manner. In particular, you don't have to do a complete batch unzip before you can parse the first byte. When I did this, I was using public domain gzip software. Jon Ferraiolo Adobe Systems, Inc.
