A previous message about mass change of stock price source used gunzip
as part of that process.  But, in rereading that message, I see that I

Anyway, changing it did get me a plain text file that I could edit.  Thanks.

After doing my mass edit of changing the security namespace,
I also did: Actions: Check & Repair: Check & Repair All
