Mike,

No, that doesn't work.

Here are some of the things I've already tried:

Decompressing with 7-Zip for Windows
Decompressing with gzip for Windows
Renaming to tohgr.exe and trying to execute
Renaming to tohgr.exe and trying to execute in DOSBox
Renaming to tohgr.tar.gz and trying to decompress as a tar archive
Renaming to tohgr.exe.zip and trying to decompress as a zip archive with both 7-Zip and Windows
Poking around in a hex editor to check for obvious issues
Scouring the Internet looking for a good copy, or the source so I can build it myself

I've also tested the other gz archives on the site and they do not appear to be corrupt.

I have emailed the author about this problem, so hopefully we will hear something soon.
Glad to read that you worked out an alternative method for your needs. My suggestion was essentially correct as the file has the proper windows PE header but there appears to be garbage right after the header so essentially the program is still corrupt. I suspect it might be the cross compiler used (mingw if I read the code right.) 

Cheers,
