Binary File Compress

[emrey]

Hi,

I need to read/write big data on the disk while my simulation continues. In order to make the size smaller on the disk I write the data as binary. However, the size of this data can be further decreased considerably by an external compressor . My question is, can I read\write in compressed binary format directly from Fortran?

Thanks,

Emre

emrey,

Check the following thread that includes sample code for the problem you mention with Intel Fortran. It will definitely help you.

Hope it helps.

emrey,

I forgot to mention. The thread I mention in my previous response provides sample code to read ZIP files.

However, you can use a similar approach to read other compressed files.
