don't mind it. ;-) "D.learn" is for *any* questions about language, no 
matter how strange they may seem.

actually, your loop seems to be not good anyway, as it may easily read 
only part of a line. sadly, there is no streaming interface to gz files, 
so your best bet is to read the whole file in memory, then unpack it all 
at once, and then process it. just be sure that you have enough RAM. 
something like this:

  import std.stdio;
  import std.string;
  import std.zlib;

  void main () {
    char[] unpacked;
    // read the whole file and unpack it
    {
      auto fl = File("test.txt.gz", "rb");
      auto packed = new ubyte[](cast(usize)fl.size);
      fl.rawRead(packed);
      auto up = new UnCompress();
      unpacked ~= cast(char[])up.uncompress(packed);
      unpacked ~= cast(char[])up.flush();
    }
    foreach (auto s; unpacked.splitLines) {
      writeln(s);
    }
  }
