Gilles,

Well, not quite.  minigzip options won't work if you do that.

I can't quite figure out how this error is occurring.  outmode is used 
only by gzdopen() or gzopen(), both of which call gz_open() in gzio.c 
which removes the "6" before passing the mode onto fopen() or fdopen(). 
  Maybe it's the space in the file mode that's messing up VC++?
