I think the problem with decompression on the fly is that Netscape (or
other browsers which support this; e.g. my Xmosaic version on Linux
does) spawns a subprocess where it calls the compress program. To
accomplish this under Unix is very easy; unfortunately I'm afraid
that these compressed files are inaccessible for Windows or Mac users...
