Like you have lots of .txt files and you want to compress them? If it is a one-time thing, why bother with Julia to do it? I would just use gzip or 7zip at the command line.

There are Julia packages, though, if you want to try that out GitHub - JuliaIO/GZip.jl: A Julia interface for gzip functions in zlib

Also check out the CodecZlib package if you want to handle gzip files. It is considerably more efficient than Gzip.jl for me.
