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.

It's what I always use, then ftp the files to the server.

After uncompressing and untarring the gzip-1.2.4.tar.Z file I simply did: 1) ./configure 2) make 3) modified my PATH and everything worked like a charm. This assumes you have a compiler. regards, west
