How do I uncompress a .gz file?
With "gzip -d" (or gunzip, which is gzip linked to gzip).Solaris 8 has gzip. Solaris 7 or earlier
does not come with gzip (it doesn't have zip either--only unzip).
Gzip is
available as a pre-compiled package from
http://www.sunfreeware.com/
(use "pkgadd -d packageFileName" to install)
and also as a tar file (to extract, type
"uncompress gzip*Z; tar xvf gzip*.tar") at
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/unsupported/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.x86-sun-solaris2.4.tar.Z
