Hello,

   I'm trying to decompress a file using zlib, for use by my Matlab function. Currently I'm doing it by calling Python midway through my function, but I would like to make it so that I don't need to have Python installed on whatever computer I'm trying to run my function on. 

  I was wondering if there was a way for me to use zlib just using native Matlab code. I don't know much about compression/decompression, so I'm open to any suggestions. I've been searching around for a while, and haven't found anything.

Thanks very much

You cuold try GUNZIP, which the doc says 'uncompresses GNU zip files', not  
sure if this is the same as zlib though.
