I'm calling Rocket remiss in providing a gzip that can't be bootstrapped using only base z/OS facilities. Hardly forgiven in that many desktop systems (which Rocket may have used for packaging) provide uncompress but not compress because of (expired) patent restrictions. Even worse, some provide gzip but misname it "compress".
I've got no idea why Rocket would choose to use tarballs. It would have been a much better idea to use compressed pax archives like the original IBM ported tools.
