Hello,
What do I use to open a gz file?
Files suffixed with gz are a GNU Zip compressed file. They are uncompressed with the "gunzip" program. So if you have a README.gz file you would use the command "gunzip README.gz" and that would result in the file README being created. Many things are compressed in this way to save space. If you wish to compress something, use the "gzip" command. If you are working with tar archives you can use the "z" option which will automatically compress/decompress through gzip.
