Gz is short for Gnu zip - basically a unix style compression.  Actually,
winzip will open gz files.  However, when I downloaded these files, you will
see that most are automatically converted to .ps files (postscript).  If you
try to use winzip to open this, you will get an invalid archive directory.
It appears that the decompression is happening on the server end, and you
are getting the raw file.  

 

There are various ways to run .ps files on a Windows box, however it is
probably easier to just download the pdf versions.  I downloaded the abc
file and opened it with wordpad no problems.  Check your extensions
carefully.
