While .gz is the seen very frequently I think .zip is 
better with the windows and o/s and mac o/s so that is 

what 

I would recomend. Anybody disagree with me.? Certainly a 
decoder for zip is easier to find for the above operating 

systems although winzip will do both.

Gzip is a utility created by GNU.  It is freeware, and is mostly used on UNIX 
systems although there are ports for other operating systems, namely DOS.  
 
I would suspect that gzip is a much better compression utility for text than 
pkzip although I cannot corroborate this.  
 
Anyone want to comment on this ?

We thought we were alone, we believed the universe was ours, until one
night in 2063, on an earth colony 6 light years away, they struck. And 
now, we are at war.  My name is lieutenent colonel T. C. McQueen, I'm
an in-vitro , a race of artificially gestated humans. I command the marine
corp squadron, the 58th, they call us the WildCards. We fight when called,
in space, on land and at sea.  To lose this war means more than defeat, to
surrender is to never go home.  All of us must rise to the call, above and 
beyond.
