Terri,

I don't have an example of using gunzip(1) as an LDM decoder and it's a poor 
candidate for one (see 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/programs.html#decoders>.

You'd be better off PIPE-ing to a script that invoked gunzip(1). Don't forget 
to use PIPE's "-close" option.
