How do I uncompress a .gz file?
With “gzip -d” (or gunzip, which is gzip linked to gzip). Solaris 8 has gzip. Solaris 7 or earlier does not come with gzip (it doesn’t have zip either–only unzip). Gzip is available as a pre-compiled package from http://www.sunfreeware.com/ (use “pkgadd -d packageFileName” to install) and also as a tar file (to extract, type “uncompress gzip*Z; tar xvf gzip*.tar”) at ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/unsupported/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.x86-sun-sol aris2.4.tar.
