ZFile class uses popen with "rb"/"wb" which fails on some linux platforms

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. compile gcc 4.x linux platform 
2. run with gzip files on linux

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

ZFile._file is null because popen() fails

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.4 running on ubuntu 8.04

Please provide any additional information below.

the fix is to change mode "rb" and "wb" to "r" and "w".  popen() 
implementations do not always 
support "rb" or "wb" modes (see: 
http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xsh/popen.html)
