You need to obtain GNU's gzip program. There is both a MSDOS
.exe file and a UNIX tar file (I believe you have to compile,
so you may need gcc of you don't have.) The UNIX version decompresses
with gzip -d filename, but I'm not sure how the DOS version works.
Also, Winzip will handle gzip compresses (among other things).
Hope this is useful,
