I think this may be what you are looking for (extract from man gzip):
zcat [ -fhLV ] [ name ... ]
...
" zcat is identical to gunzip -c. (On some systems, zcat may be
installed as gzcat to preserve the original link to compress.) zcat
uncompresses either a list of
files on the command line or its standard input and writes
the uncompressed data on standard output. zcat will uncompress files
that have the correct magic number
whether they have a .gz suffix or not."
Cheers,
-Ian
