Hi!

I am writing a script that would be nice to be able to run
with only the root partition mounted, and it works fine
except that I find no way to read .gz compressed
files without e.g /usr/bin/zcat.

So my questions are: is there a program in /sbin:/bin
that can decompress .gz compressed files? Or should
there be? Would it not be nice to be able to untar
e.g base43.tgz from single user mode without having
to mount /usr?

Info: cpio, tar and pax are in /bin but they all
rely on an external zcat program.
