is gzip the same as winzip? specifically, can a tarball be compressed with gzip and then unpacked with winzip from windows? ie, lotsa .txt and .html files in directory foo tar -czf foo.zip /home/thufir/foo/
gzip is not the same as zip, but winzip can handle .tgz and .tar.gz files. just compress as .tgz
tar czf foo.tgz /home/thufir/foo/

unfortunately, this computer doesn't have winzip and I don't have permissions. can I compress files for windows xp somehow?
why not use the Windows-Port of gzip/tar/etc. from
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
No installation needed, just unpack them and run them.
thanks,
