Thanks for spotting this- the function *should* return the 
estimated file size. WriteCGI() uses this, too, and indeed, 
for compressed files, filesize seems to be zero right now:

$ gif2swf -C -z test.gif
Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 0
Expires: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 23:59:59 GMT

This is a bug- I'll try to fix this.
