You can use zlib and wrap it to a regular file pointer, this way you can use fscanf,fread,etc. transparently.

FILE *myfopen(const char *path, const char *mode)
{
#ifdef WITH_ZLIB
  gzFile *zfp;

  /* try gzopen */
  zfp = gzopen(path,mode);
  if (zfp == NULL)
    return fopen(path,mode);

  /* open file pointer */
  return funopen(zfp,
                 (int(*)(void*,char*,int))gzread,
                 (int(*)(void*,const char*,int))gzwrite,
                 (fpos_t(*)(void*,fpos_t,int))gzseek,
                 (int(*)(void*))gzclose);
#else
  return fopen(path,mode);
#endif
}

Dearest fermut,

May I draw your attention to the date of the message you are replying to?

I just saw a post in another group at 10:00:00 UTC+3,
and dated Aug. 8th 1996. 

Looks more like the clock is set wrong than an old post to me.

Does your newsserver still have a copy of 
  <78ljof$m6o$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
?

Does your internet even still have a copy of dejanews.com?

Methinks it's a noob reading and posting the total abomination 
that calls itself googlegroups. Google groups sucks, be sure
of that, and this long-dead-thread resurrection is one of its
more minor annoyances.

Google groups sucks.
