I downloaded to heart and found that two of the files were compressed into mpg.gz files. I tried to use winzip to open them, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

sorry if this was posted elsewhere......

i think GZ files can be opened with winzip but i could be wrong.

hmm... I had problems with winzip, but I tried alladin stuff- it just now(downloaded the free trial) and it worked! So I would imagine winzip should have also worked, but perhaps I have some problems with settings or something like that....

thanks though!

*.gz is gzip compression. So any archive utility capable of decompressing gziped files can handle it. When I look at this list of freeware zip utilities, then IZArc can handle them, ZipGenius most likely too.
