Geoff,

there is one small difference - gzip is GNU freeware, WinZip is
proprietary shareware. Its usage without paying the license is in fact
illegal.
I personally still prefer gzip&tar and am happy with them. zip/unzip are
also freeware and stable so I always keep them handy.
Just (my) opinion.

Subject:        Re: gzip for AIX 4.3, a suggestion to reduce the pain

Is there any reason that winzip can't handle this. It's what I always use,
then ftp the files to the server.
