I won't go over the pipes and such that gzip/gunzip can handle, but
there should be no reason why you can't just PKUNZIP on your wintel
machine. As long as it's to NTFS, hopefully you'll be OK. Unzipping
doesn't require a lot of memory. If WinZIP should fail, hunt down
PKZ204G.EXE which is the original DOS command line version.
