The files contain a series of instructions for the HIM to transmit the required changes through your cars OBD2 port to your ECU. The file isn't actually compressed, its encrypted. According to the OBD2 standard, manufacturers are allowed to encrypt the programming functions of the OBD2 port.

This subject can fill up whole novels. Form more information check your the PGMFI forums. http://forums.pgmfi.org

If you can get your hands on these files, please find a way to get them to the PGMFI community. There are a lot of brilliant people there who are working their buts off to crack OBD2 programming.
Thanks for the response. It figures that it would not be that easy.
