Hello,
is it possible, to unzip a gz-file from Linux?
Best regards

Unfortunately the Zipper Extender included with WinBatch does not support gzip files.

So you can either track down a 3rd party library to DllCall.

zlib1.dll can be located here:  http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

*OR*

Run a command line tool from your WinBatch script: http://www.gzip.org/

The 7-zip compression utility is also a good choice and can be driven from a WinBatch script.  It has the advantage of supporting almost all commonly used compression formats including tarball acrhives.
