hello,
ROOT is giving the possibility of reading zip archive, which
is a nice feature, though I did not test it yet
I think I found a potential interest for it outside the ROOT framework
in astrophysics: some experiments are reading FITS files which are not
rather small (10's of MB) and they usually organize them in zip archive
that can be easily stored into HPSS (less files, less bookkeping, users
happier, HPSS admins happier too :-) ).
I was wondering if the same ROOT feature would be difficult to implement
on the TXNetFile side if it is not implemented there.
one other thing: based on the current documentation, client side
decompression is not supported yet, right ?
thanks in advance,
JY
