Not gzip.
Use the command line utility "zip"
Gzip uses a different compression algorithm.
Granted winzip speaks gzip its still better
to use the zip command line utility there
is a huge difference in "zip" and "gzip"
Gzip needs something like tar to create an archive
of files.
Zip like I showed allows you to create a valid
archive that is just like a PKZIP archive.
try this out at your nearest unix command line......
"man zip" and "man gzip"
