 I've successfully used (only slightly modified) classes
 gzifstream and
 gzofstream in SGI IRIX and GNU Linux environments. The
 code was
 obtained from directory zlib-1.1.3/contrib/iostream of
 http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/zlib.tar.gz .

 Now it seems to me that the code won't compile with
 standard iostream classes. Has anyone made the
 necessary changes to compile it ? Or, does someone know
 that it won't be possible to make it work again ? Or,
 is there a better solution for that need, ie. to have a
 pair of classes derived from istream and ostream that
 allow compression and uncompression on the fly ?

 Yours,

 Jorma Laaksonen

Comment:

 This is probably outdated; if Jonathan Turkanis doesn't address this
 ticket soon it should probably be closed.
