Using gunzip to decompress .zip file

Hi,

I have a zipped Oralce software (linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip) and I need to unzip it. On the Linux server, I only see the gunzip utility listed:

[oracle@rac1 bin]$ ls -ltr *zip*
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60320 Jan 15 2008 gzip
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60320 Jan 15 2008 gunzip

Can I use the command "gunzip" to decompress the file thta has the extension .zip?

[oracle@rac1]$gunzip linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip

Thanks!
