Hmm.
Results with various archivers (under Ecks-Pee) on the gzip files:
Winzip: "Invalid Archive Directory"
inRAR: "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged."
Win-GZ: treats the file as uncompressed data and tries to compress it
- does not recognize that it's a gzip file.
gunzip for MS-DOS: "gunzip: crunch1.dsk.gz: not in gzip format"
What am I missing here?
Is the file size 119,675 bytes?
-uso.
My findings (using winzip 8.0 on Windoze 2000):
Winzip was able to successfully open each zipped file into its window for
viewing the contents. I had problems extracting some of the .dsk images but
not others (using drag and drop from Winzip window to Explorer window).

So they are definitely all zipped files ( < 143,360 bytes), not disk images
with a misleading .gz file extension. The drag-and-drop extraction
apparently tried to append the original path to my temp directory path,
creating a syntax error.
When I used the 'Extract' toolbar button and made sure 'Use folder names' was
unchecked, all the disk images extracted nicely. I can see I'm going to be
playing games for the next several hours.
