gollark: *Do* you think I should actually store the compressed size? It would require either compressing to a temporary file and concatting it on later, or leaving some space in the pre-file-header bit to write it in after it's been compressed.
gollark: I "fixed" it, I just needed to enable single frame mode.

gollark: And it was not in fact reading multiple files but I edited it in the wrong place.
