Contary to the repo name, this actually implementsgunzip and notgzip in Julia.
The coolest thing (that I know of) that you can do with this repository is visualize unzipping.
To play with this, do
git checkout visualizationgzip myfile.txtjulia gunzip.jl myfile.txt.gzThis will unzipmyfile.txt.gz and show which parts are represented literally and which parts are references to previous parts of the file. Do this to a text file and not a binary :)
