Hi,
I had seen some files ending with a .gz extension.I need to retrieve
such files.What kind of files are these...i mean what kind of compression
is followed.For example a zip file ends with a .zip extension and a
compressed file ends with a .Z extension.Also let me know how to
uncompress such files.
Bye.

I found the URL to the win9x 'Fsplit' utility that joins/splits files.
ftp://ftphost.simtel.net/dsk3/simtelnet/win95/fileutl/fsplt12.zip
Size: 275k
When joining files downloaded by email methods, you may have to edit the
first file end in some cases except from www4mail servers.
This is what the help file says . .

File Split Help
Copyright � 1998 by H. Fischer
About the Program:
File Split is an Application which splits a single File into several
Files with a certain Filesize.
It can rejoin multiple files into one file by concating them one by
one into a chosen single file.
The Data of the Source-Files won't be modified.
In Split-Mode, the Destination Files will get a specified
Base-Filename plus an Extension, which is a numeric value counted
ascending from '001' on.
File Split supports Long Filenames, so the Base-Filename can contain
more than 8 characters.
After every split action, a DOS-Batch file named "Rejoin.bat" can be
found in the destination directory. Use this file to concat the single
files back into the original file, without using the concat option
of FileSplit.
Alternatively the destination Files can be rejoined manually back into
the original file, by using the copy
-command at the Win 95 / NT -DOS-Prompt. (Remember that a DOS-command
is limited to 128 characters, and all chars which exceeds this limit
will be truncated.)
Example: copy /b dest.001 + dest.002 + dest.003 + dest.004 source.exe
In Concat-Mode, the Source Files can be chosen directly from disk to
a File-Listbox.
This is the list which contains all files which will be joined to a
Destination-File.
NOTE I: FSPLIT.EXE requires a 32-Bit Windows -environment. You must
have Windows 95 / NT running to execute it.
File Split is FREEWARE. You can use and distribute it without paying
for it.
NOTE II: File Split is not intended to write the split Files to
Floppy-Disk.
If there isn't enough space on the Destination-Drive for all
files, File Split aborts its work with an Error-Message.
You have to copy the created files manually, if you want them
on a Floppy-Drive.

Files ending in .z (not .Z) are usually files compressed with the gz
command. These can be uncompressed with the gunzip command. To
uncompress a file with this extension type:
gunzip filename.z
where filename is the name of the file to uncompress.
Older .z files are compressed with the pack command. These can be
uncompressed in the same manner as a gzipped .z file. To avoid
confusion, gzip now uses the .gz extension.
file.Z compressed by the compress program; uncompressed by
the uncompress program
file.z compressed by gzip; uncompressed by gunzip (old)
older .z files are compressed by pack; uncompressed
with unpack
file.gz compressed by gzip; uncompressable by gunzip (new)
For more information on this program, type:
man gzip
at a Unix prompt.
I use a DOS program called gzip version 1.2.4 to unzip these files. You
can find it at your favorite SimtelNet mirror:
gzip124.zip (930818) 114K GNUzip: Unix compress/uncompress replacement
