A better overall approach is to tar the files into a tar file, compress it, then later uncompress the one tar file and extract the file(s) you want.
example
Code:
tar -cvf my.tar file1 file2 # put files in tar archive
gzip my.tar # this makes my.tar.gz
# later on ...
gunzip my.tar.gz # makes my.tar
tar -xvf my.tar file1 # recreates file1
tar -xvf mt.tar # extracts ALL files in my.tar
If you wish to create a single archive file with multiple members so that members can later
be extracted independently, use an archiver such as tar or zip.
