    // First, let's compress a text file.
    // We'll then decompress in blocks, and compare the decompressed with the original file.

    var originalPath: String? = "qa_data/hamlet.xml"
    // Note: The FileSize method returns a signed 32-bit integer.  If the file is potentially larger than 2GB, call FileSizeStr instead to return
    // the size of the file as a string, then convert to an integer value.
    print("uncompressed size: \(fac.FileSize(originalPath).intValue)")
    print("compressed size: \(fac.FileSize("qa_data/hamlet_compressed.dat").intValue)")

    // Decompress in blocks..
