I actually was interested in finding out how to cope with 
   gunzip, I confess. 
   But at that point, zcat is even better!

You're right as far as Linux is concerned, but on other Unix
platforms, "zcat" and even "gunzip" may be missing. The most portable
way to decompress to a pipe is

  gzip -dc <file>.ps.gz | ...

(where the -d is for "decompress" and -c for "to stdout"). 

Just wanted to share that bit of information because it took me some
time figuring it out ...

Best,
Stefan.
