Your Windows using friend can convert the "tar.gz" file to "zip" using the open-source utility "7-zip". Available at http://www.7-zip.org/ It doesn't conform to many Windows conventions, so reading the help files will be necessary. I found that it was necessary to extract a "tar.gz" file twice, once to extract from "gz" and again for "tar".
