+# =GZip Simple
+#
+# A simplified interface to the gzip library +zlib+ (from the Ruby Standard Library.)
+#
+# Author: murphy (mail to murphy rubychan de)
+#
+# Version: 0.2 (2005.may.28)
+#
+# ==Documentation

+# See +GZip+ module and the +String+ extensions.

+module GZip
+
+  require 'zlib'
+
+  # The default zipping level. 7 zips good and fast.
+  DEFAULT_GZIP_LEVEL = 7
+
+  # Unzips the given string +s+.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  #   require 'gzip_simple'
+  #   print GZip.gunzip(File.read('adresses.gz'))
+  def GZip.gunzip s
+    Zlib::Inflate.inflate s
+  end
+
+  # Zips the given string +s+.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  #   require 'gzip_simple'
+  #   File.open('adresses.gz', 'w') do |file
+  #     file.write GZip.gzip('Mum: 0123 456 789', 9)
+  #   end
+  #
+  # If you provide a +level+, you can control how strong
+  # the string is compressed:
+  # - 0: no compression, only convert to gzip format
+  # - 1: compress fast
+  # - 7: compress more, but still fast (default)
+  # - 8: compress more, slower
+  # - 9: compress best, very slow
