thank you.

The binary ones are compressed. You can uncompress them either from DS or usig a program like 7zip.

For scripting, use DzGZFile instead of DzFile and the decompression will be handled for you.

DzGZFile  ?? what is that?

Richard Haseltine

It's the same, more-or-less, as DzFile but handles compressed and uncompressed files - so you shoulldn't need to change much of your script other than the file opening section.
