Zlib decompression - Any ideas?

[Mark Smith]

I wonder if these files are simply raw compressed data with no  
headers or enclosing 'container'.

I'm assuming you've tried just reading in the binary data and using  
'decompress' in revolution - the docs for 'compress/decompress' say  
it's based on zlib compression.

Best,

Mark
