| Abstract: | .gz files cannot be uncompressed using ZIPFileService |
| Submitted By: | LANSA Technical Support |
.gz files are not supported by the ZIPFileService.
LANSA Integrator uses the Java supplied Zip classes which are based on the InfoZip format http://www.info-zip.org
A .gz file uses a different compressed file format. The extension .gz stands for GNU Zip.
GNU Zip or .gz uses a free GNU software implementation of a compression algorithm.
Hence the compression algorithms used by GNU Zip .gz are different from those used in Zip files and so you need different software to open .gz files. http://www.tech-pro.net/howto-open-gz-file.html
