William, works great for me. I'm using WinZip 8.1 - don't know if PKZIP handles GZ - type compression, but WinZip does. Zipped file was 9,074 KB, made a copy of it, ran gunzip on it, size was 27,208,368. Opened in WinZip, extracted to C:\, same size.

I found that gzip with the decompress option was not reliable.

Questions--

1. Are you referring to the gzip/gunzip pair of commands from the free GNU Utilities package? Installs in library GNU. That's the one I'm using. There IS another one, but I don't use it.

2. What version of WinZip or PKWare Zip?

BTW, these can be called as programs - the QShell versions are just symbolic links to library objects - very cool. You can distribute them and not need to have QShell installed.

Feel free to contact me off list.

One of our programmers is having a problem getting files zipped with the IBM
qshell GNUZIP Utility to unzip in either PKware Zip or Winzip.

Has anyone had any success with this ?
