 I gone through Rfc 1952(Gzip file format).I have one question, After
decompressing one member in Gzip file wheather next member will start
at next byte boundary or from next bit onwards.

At next byte boundary. The Gzip format is byte oriented. The "compressed
blocks" customarily use the Deflate compression algorithm (RFC 1951)
which may not fill completely the last byte, which is then padded with
bits equal to 0.

Thanks...
Did you mean that, after complition of final block in one member,
proceeding 32 bits are CRC32 value and next 32 bits are ISIZE
value?.If one member ends at middle of one byte, next member starts at
next byte boundary?.
