I'm not saying that it isnt useful to some, infact i've coded a few webservers in my time, however what i'm saying is that gzip built-in to mIRC would be like installing text-based chat into internet explorer, since Internet explorer is a browser not a chatting client, as mIRC is a chatting client not a browser.

There's nothing stopping you distributing gzip.exe with your script, since it does come with a good amount of files and directories already (if your new version is similiar to your old, (downloaded it to see)), and using COM Objects to load it so that you dont see a dos window open when you gzip a file.
