Here's some code to add into "file.c" somewhere before it starts scrabbling
around looking for C/FORTRAN/assembler-language keywords:
if (buf[0] == '\037' && buf[1] == '\235') {
printf("compressed data, ");
if (buf[2]&0x80)
printf("block compressed, ");
printf("%d bits\n", buf[2]&0x1f);
goto out;
}
If you have "compress" on your system, this will recognize compressed files
and dump some extra information about them.
