gzip compatibility with WinZip/PKZIP
I have 4 files in a dir ,
A_to_Z.txt Z_to_A.txt 1_to_20.txt 20_to_1.txt I want to create a single gzip file which will contain these 4 text files. This gzip file should be compatible with Windows PKZIP/WinZip. I know you will suggest 'tar' command. But PKZIP/WinZip dont recognize zipped tar files seems. Please help me in this. Thanks, kanu_kanu

Gzip can compress only one file at a time because it's a compressor, not a packaging utility. Because of this, if you want to put together many files you have to tar them and then gzip the output tarfile.
So you can: 1) Install and use "zip" utility on your source machine 2) Use tar, gzip and install an appropriate utility on the Windows machine 3) Compress each single file with gzip
