That brings me to two questions to poll this group on: 1. Are any of the DCs (GDC, RDC, ODC) currently able to accept .gz RINEX from a station/ODC as input and re-offer it as .Z on the archive? If so, the Septentrio tools would interface fine with at least some of the IGS DCs in our present scheme. 2. How does the group feel about switching to .gz these days? I have suggested it from time to time since about 1998, so I guess my opinion is well known :) I may point out that tools that transparently uncompress both .Z and .gz are available (http://www.gzip.org) for lots of platforms.
