I guess my subject said it all. :)
    Is there a way by code or otherwise to uncompress a unix gz file
using vb?
    thanks. email too if not too much trouble please.

I don't know how to do it by code...(I have heard of a web site http://www.wotzit.org [or something like that,
maybe com instead of org] that I understand has documentation of various file formats...maybe you could
find docs there from which you could write code to do this.)

Anyway, there are Windows programs, such as WinZip
(ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/win3/utilities/winzip31.exe) that can uncompress gz files.

Hope this helps,
