Somebody please correct me if I am wrong but I think the .zip extension is
not a gzip file and you need something else to open it with.
Can someone confirm this please!

Subject: 'Zip' archives
I'm trying to unpack some 'zip' style archives with gunzip, but have been
running into a deadend. Unless I'm mistaken, gzip was made as a free
alternative to pkzip & an enhancement of compress. I found a source
distribution in zip (rather than tar.gz) format & I can't open it. (!)
$ unzip inform615_source.zip
unzip: inform615_source.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored
$ mv inform615_source.zip inform615_source.gz
$ unzip inform615_source.gz
unzip: inform615_source.gz: first entry not deflated or stored -- use
unzip
What do I need to do? Is there an option I need to use, or have I got
gzip improperly installed?
thanks in advance,
ben taylor
