I have tried Winzip, Powerarchiver and Revolution itself on a Windows XP
system.  None can decompress
http://www.runrev.com/revolution/engines/Windows.gz   Is anyone else having
this problem?

.gz is GZIP format (which is the same used by rev's compress and
decompress functions).

I thought for sure that Winzip could deal with .gz format, and it
claims to support GZIP in it's help file, but I'll be darned if I can
get it to unzip that file!

The Windows.gz file is OK I verified it by using gunzip on OS X.

Use Rev's builtin compression functions to do it with a short script,
or try another tool. I think Stuffit Expander from Aladdin can handle
gzip files.
