Try my zlib wrapper: http://jediplus.pjh2.de/download/zlibs.zip
There are classes to compress or decompress gzip streams.

You can not use ZLibEx or the original ZLib.pas, because gzip use a
incomplete zlib stream, you need to call the zlib functions with a
special parameter.

I don't have test the classes with very large files. Borland's stream
classes are designed for maximal 2 GB at least until Delphi 5. Maybe we
need to extend the classes for using the newer, overloaded methods for
streams larger than 2 GB. Please mail me, if there are problems with the
file size.

Bye Peter.
