i don't know for sure. but i have seen something similar elsewhere.
versabet archives for lottery draws have a file spec that is one line and 
specifies how to read the draw file.
the above could mean similar. specs on how to read the rest of file.
without knowing the file size..or file type.

ie: 31 characters per record,139 records,8 fields(?)

My searches on this pulled up Zlib.
See (http://www.erlang.org/ml-archive/erlang-questions/200206/msg00117.html)

Seems to be a compression library.

    In other words, it's been gzipped. WinZip will open it, if you change=

the extension to .gz.

Wierdness. I wonder why a web domain sends 1 out of a few hundred pages 
in this form, every few 100 pages. Thanks for the infos.

     Some servers will automagically gzip pages to save bandwidth, if the=
=20
browser says it supports it.
This led to many .tar.gz files to be renamed to .tar so that the browser=
=20
would not attempt to
decompress them. This was done with the Euphoria Linux release, for example=
.
