The script is a simple python script for stripping compression from Blend files so that they can be opened in Blender 2.33.

Run it from the command line like this:

./blenddecompress.py <inputfile.blend> [-o <outputfile.blend>]

Where <inputfile.blend> is the compressed file, and <outputfile.blend> will be created as uncompressed output.

The <outputfile.blend> will default to inputfile.uncompressed.blend if not specified.

The zip file contains:

1. The python script blenddecompress.py

2. A hacked python zlib module.

3. zlib module source & Makefile.

A hacked python zlib is necessary.

A python zlib is provided for Linux. Win32ers and Maccers will have compile one.
