.zip .Z and .gz are all different, if they were all the same, you would not need different extensions.
A .gz or .Z file is merely a compressed binary stream.
A zip file is more akin to a .tar.Z in that it contains file meta data.
WinZip is able to make intelligent guesses about what a file really is.
You could create a small tar on the HPUX box, ftp it back to the windows box, use WinZip to open and add your various files, then ftp it back up again. Unpack using tar again on HPUX.

vfslib
vfslib(3tcl) Tcl-only Virtual File Systems vfslib(3tcl)
NAME
::vfslib - Procedures to interact with virtual filesystems
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require vfs ?1.2.1?
package require vfs::zip ?1.0?
package require vfs::mk4 ?1.6?
package require vfs::tar ?0.9?
package require vfs::ftp ?1.0?
package require vfs::ns ?1.0?
package require vfs::webdav ?0.1?
package require vfs::http ?0.5?
package require vfs::urltype ?1.0?
vfs::zip::Mount path to
vfs::ftp::Mount path to
vfs::tar::Mount path to
vfs::http::Mount path to
vfs::mk4::Mount path to
vfs::ns::Mount path to
vfs::urltype::Mount type
DESCRIPTION
The ::vfs package includes a library of Tcl code, implementing a number of different virtual filesystems. Each of these exists as its own
package, and can be accessed through package require vfs::NAME. The whole set of virtual filesystems is known informally as 'vfslib'
SUPPORTED VFS TYPES
The current supported types are ftp, tar, http, zip, mk4, ns, webdav. In addition there is the ability to mount any 'urltype' as a new
volume, provided an appropriate vfs is supported. This means that you can treat 'ftp://', 'http://' and 'file://' urls as files. To do
this, simply evaluate the command
vfs::urltype::Mount ftp
for instance. Any access inside the new volume will result in an attempt to require a package through 'package require vfs::${type}',
which must therefore exist, or errors will be thrown.
LIMITATIONS
Most of the vfs types listed above have not been very well debugged as yet. Please test them!
