If you execute: bzip2 -d B97.pgn.bz2 And you have a bzip2 compressed file called B97.pgn.bz2 in that directory, then after the program executes, there will be a decompressed file called B97.pgn in that directory and B97.pgn.bz2 will have dissapeared. It's just like gzip in that respect. It compresses a great deal better than anything else.
