GZIPUTIL: Stata module to provide access to gzipped files

Matthias Gomolka

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: gziputil provides wrappers for save, use, merge and append which allow to use/save gzip compressed dta files. If datasets are located on slow (network) drives, this may yield a performance improvement of 50% and more. The syntax is exactly the same as in the wrapped functions which makes it very easy to switch to compressed datasets.
