Hello. My Octave (2.9.9 on Debian etch) can save gzipped ascii files;
e.g.
octave> save -ascii -z A.gz A
and load them again too (automatically detecting the need for
gunzipping):
octave> load A.gz

And you can read gzipped files with C - style file i/o commands
(fopen, fscanf, etc).
See "help fopen" for details, here is an excerpt:
<<<
Additionally, you may append a "z" to the mode string to open a
gzipped file for reading or writing. For this to be successful,
you must also open the file in binary mode.
Sincerely,
Dmitri.
