The gzip software 230-is available in /pub/utils. If the file ISN'T compressed (i.e., doesn't 230-end in ".gz" or ".Z"), you can compress it on its way out by just 230-appending either suffix to the filename. For instance, if the file is 230-medsfmt.dat, just use "get medsfmt.dat.gz" to get a gzip-ed version. 230-Uncompression works similarly, just leave the suffix off of the file name 230-to have it uncompressed before it is sent. PLEASE get the compressed 230-version if you can uncompress it at your site. Some of the GTSPP data 230-files are pretty big uncompressed and will take a long time to transfer 230-if uncompressed (some are 10 MBs). (this part was just a note for customers downloading data...continue reading below) 230- 230-Questions/Problems should be directed to NODC.Webmaster@noaa.gov 230- 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
