title: Deconvoluting a gzipped, binary file containing integer counts into human readable numbers
body: <p>I need to decode a file gzipped, binary file containing integer counts into human readable numbers so I can summarise them (fx mean, median, etc).</p>
  
  <p>An example of one of the files can be found <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/hibolrcalbyduop/fld.gz?dl=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> (572 bytes)</p>
  
  <p>According to the <a href="http://salmon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/file_formats.html#fragment-length-distribution" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official documentation</a> it should contain 1001 integer counts (indicating the Fragment length distribution) encoded as "signed, 32-bit integers (with machine-native endianness"- can somebody help me extract them.</p>
