No they are not compressed. A simple "tar tvf *.depot" can list you the content of that file.

As Patrick Walleck taught me earlier, .depot files are ascii and they are not compressed.

You can compress them.

If you download a patch its not a depot file, you have to unshar it

sh PHKL_18543

creates
PHKL_18543.depot
PHKL_18543.text


if you download one thats filename.depot.gz that has been gzipped and must be unzipped prior to use. gunsip filename.depot.gz

Following on from your other post, if run the procedure like this, you should be successful.

# sh PHSS_12345

This produces a depot file and text file extract. You can then use 'swinstall' to install it.

# swinstall -s PHSS_12345 \*
or interactively
# swinstall
