unzip GZ Files?

Hi all,

i try to extract a *.gz file (help says: only support for *.tgz, *.tar, *.tar.gz...) but i keep the same error on all 4 variations.

With a *.zip it works like expected with the following code:
(AFile is the fullpath to the file)
nErr=zipOpen("MyArchive",AFile)
IF nErr=0 THEN
nErr=zipExtractAll("MyArchive",fExtractPath(AFile, fDrive + fDirectory))
END
IF nErr>0 THEN
Error("Error unzipping file.",zipMsgError(nErr))
END
zipClose("MyArchive")


Do i miss something or have i use a external tool for that? I really need the *.gz one...

Best regards,
Thomas

Found in a forum:

"I think in the old package repo days, .tgz was used because files on Dos floppies could only have three letter extensions. When this limitation was removed .tar.gz was used to be more verbose by showing both the archive type (tar) and zipper (gzip).

They are identical"

So I should try to rename the to extract file from extension .gz to .tgz and try to unzip it.

Regards,
Joey
