what i figure out is

you have compressed a file in SCO unix and want to uncompress it in windows

what format have u compressed it in unix, what compression utility have you used.

what utility in windows is being used to decompress it

unfortunately winzip does not support either format (as far as i know)

check if you have zip or gzip on unix

use "zip -rv zipfile.zip <space separated list of files to zip>"

ftp zipfile.zip
use winzip to unzip it

btw, which unix are you using.

not sure if higher versions of winzip may support compress format

For info: Winzip supports compress and gzip as well as tar files.
