I too have paid for my copy of Winzip. I bought it years ago, however Nico has provided a smooth (and free) upgrade path all the way to Version 9. Starting the Version 10, a new key is needed.
Why doesn't someone (I will nominate myself) to send an e-mail to Nico asking for better and more comprehensive support for .tar.gz,
.tar.bz2 and .Z files. I'm sure that he would be willing to add better support, providing that feedback is given.
Winzip is considered a 'consumer' app.. How many normal consumers will come against a .Z or .bz2 file? (Not many...)
I will post back a response from him, if one is given.
Cheers!

Hey, no offense intended. It's just that I've known precious few people
that have actually paid for their copy of WinZip. They either put up
with the nagalogs, or they go and grab a serial from their favorite
purveyor of fine pirated bits and run WZ right alongside their pirated
copies of Cakewalk, Soundforge, Photoshop, MS Office and Bejeweled 2.
Fact o' the matter is, though, that WZ *does* stink for .tar.gz,
.tar.bz2 and .Z files. Throw my vote in for providing both .tar.gz and
.zip drops of the nightlies, as I deplore having to work with .zip files
on my Linux boxen and heartily appreciate the continued availability of
the gzips. Smaller filesize, too.
