I have DOS versions of GZip & GUnZip as well as Tar if you really want to go
there (adding a File_ID.Diz to the TGZ) and it should work just fine under Wins
if using a Batch file (command-line mode) BUT I would highly recommend Janis's
ZIP method (just create a Zip of the same name containing only the original TGZ
and a File_ID.Diz). I use both methods here. :-)
