When I need to transfer a group of files on my pc
I usually .zip them into a single file, to compress
them and make the job easier.
The unix machine I use to host my web site doesnt
have zip, but has gunzip, tar, compress, etc.
However, 1) I dont know which to use, and 2)
I dont know of a pc (preferably 32-bit windows)
application to create such a file (Im assuming
gunzip cant recognize .zip files made on a pc).
Any help greatly appreciate.

Use 'unzip' (not sure where to find it, one place is
redhat, where I got mine) [it may be part of gunzip,
Its mentioned on the gunzip man-page]

Try http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
or ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/

You will find unix and win32 versions of zip and unzip.

On the other hand, why not put the GNU tools, including
gzip, gunzip, tar and a bash shell, on the win32 box?

You can use WinZip http://www.winzip.com

It can handle tar and gz formats. It it has a nice Windows interface
as well.
