Re: Can't open compressed file

[Eric <eric narcopia com>]

Yah, renaming it doesn't work (tried anyways even though the -S forces it like 
you said).  Thing about gzip encrypting it is that i'd imagine that since it's 
on the same machine, gzip would automatically decrypt it if the default was to 
encrypt it (I don't even think gzip has an encrypt option).  I was thinking 
maybe libxml2 was encrypting it somehow but I really don't know enough about 
libxml2 to debug that.  I tried looking through the dia source for anything 
about encryption but didn't find anything and i half heartedly took a look 
through the libxml2 headers for anything about encryption but had no luck there 
either.  Also took a look through the dia code for anything about ssl but 
couldn't find anything.  I've kind of come to the conclusion that it is some 
library thats encrypting by default.
