Well, almost. Check the zlib, specifically its gzopen() call. It allows
you to read from a compressed file much in the same way as you read from
an uncompressed file. Now, if that>s not magic enough... (-;

There is a library that will do what you want. Check out:
http://zziplib.sf.net
But be aware that there is an unusual license attached. It resembles
the LGPL but is different in a few ways that raise a question mark
over whether or not your code has to be GPL>d if you statically link
with zziplib.
