Re: How to work with GZ files?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

Winzip won't work with gz file.  When I try it is ask
me if I want to add a file to the archive since there is
no files in the archive.  I just change the extension to
dsk and download it to my GS and it works to create
a real disk.
