A BSMZ file is a gzip-compressed archive containing one or more BSML files. It may also include related resources, such as images or external data files.
Gzip is used to reduce the size of the BSML content for storage or transfer. The format is intended for compressed BSML data rather than for editing directly, and its contents must be decompressed before the BSML files and associated resources can be used.
Use Gzip or another gzip-compatible archive utility to decompress the BSMZ file on Linux or Unix. After extraction, open the resulting BSML files with software that supports BSML.
Decompressing a BSMZ file produces its contained BSML files and related resources. This is the practical way to convert BSMZ to usable BSML content; no separate format conversion is normally required.
