Gzip Compress In Memory and Base64 Encode

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to Gzip compress in-memory data and then encode the compressed data to base64. VBScript

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.

' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
