gzzzzzz

gzzzzzz enlarges a given file 6 times and writes it as a gzip file.
It therefor can be "decompressed" (which makes it 6 times smaller) with the standard gzip.

This shows that gzip (and deflate and any compression tool that uses one of them) but also, as I expect, any other compression format can be used to augment data significantly.
