Gunzip in Julia
================
Contary to the repo name, this actually implements `gunzip` and not `gzip` in Julia.
The coolest thing (that I know of) that you can do with this repository is visualize unzipping.
To play with this, do
```
git checkout visualization
gzip myfile.txt
julia gunzip.jl myfile.txt.gz
```
This will unzip `myfile.txt.gz` and show which parts are represented literally and which parts are references to previous parts of the file. Do this to a text file and not a binary :)
You can see a video of this happening to "The Raven" in [this blog post](http://jvns.ca/blog/2013/10/24/day-16-gzip-plus-poetry-equals-awesome/).
If (when!) you find bugs, let me know!
