These files are tarred, and then gzipped.
So, run "tar xvfz filename.gz" and they should extract fine.
For more info, run "man tar" and "man gzip".  You should not need to use gzip
at all to uncompress these.

Yet when I run GZip on it from both Linux and Winzip they both complain that the archive is bad. I have re-download this two times and still get the same problem. How do I get these to unzip so I can have them on my disk for reference?
