They are not gzipped files.  There was no problem in unarchiving the
files by using the DOS version of WinImage, a program named
EXTRACT.EXE.  There was no point in making image files because they
turned out not to to be boot disks.  They were just archives of all
the files in that DOS version.  To produce only a file archive PKZIP
or some other popular file compression utility should have been used.
