You can use WinRAR to decompress the files.  I just downloaded all the 250k DEMs for the entire USA and decompressed them all at once using WinRAR (similar to WinZip).

Subject: opening 250K DEMs?

G'day again
 
I have just downloaded some 250k DEMs from the USGS. They are compressed files with names like "winnemucca-w.gz". How do I go about converting these into something I can load into ERMapper. When I try to use WinZip to uncompress them it asks for the full name of the file being uncompressed including it's 3 character file extension. Does anyone know what the extension should be? Once I have them uncompressed, how to I get them into ERMapper?
 
Cheers
Ken Hickey
