The Fortran interface to read gzipped files
====================================

Download version 0.2 here right away! If you would like to be informed about any new versions of this software, just leave your emailaddress here:

If everything is working as it should, just download the library, unzip it: 

tar xzf libfgz-0.2.tar.gz
type 
cd libfgz-0.2
and 
make
and the library should be created.

To compile your program now use the following command: 

f77 [program.f] -L -lfgz -lz

I am very grateful for the developers of SIMDET, from which I stole these routines. A reference for the library can be found in the different source files.

This version can read from and write to gzip-files. There are routines for both binary and ascii data.

The library has been tested (and worked) on Linux.

Good luck with it, and let me know if you find this useful/waste of sweat or if you have some great ideas, problems, etc.
