I think it'd be great if GEMPAK had the decompress built in.  Does IDV
handle the compressed files?  The problem is the uncompressing does take up
a huge amount of disk space, and is extremely CPU intensive,  so you're
doing all this work on data, that you probably are only going to look at 1%
of.

As Chiz noted, IDV handles the uncompressed output from dcnexr2.
Handling the bzip compressed files is on our list of things to do.
