Very true.  I had been using od to inspect the gzip files and didn't
think of that.  I can rework the patch to use the text in the buffer.

I used RFC1952 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1952.html) as a reference.
One of the RFC's stated purposes is that gzip "is independent of CPU
type, operating system, file system, and character set, and hence can be
used for interchange."  So, there shouldn't be any portability problems.
