Is it possible to generate a gzipped sitemap with asp?

[john.kavs]

I am looking for a way that will allow me create the google sitemap for
my website at the click of a button - so that every time i update a
page using my (asp) content management system it automatically updates
the xml.gz file on the server in turn. I know how to parse the content
into an xml file, but despite lengthy searches on the web, I cant find
any way of gzipping files using asp, which i thought should be
possible, as IIS 6.0 has that http compression utility. Anybody with
any ideas or suggestions?

What is a "google sitemap"? Nevermind, I found it:
