This is not correct. Gzip zip's format is not the same as the pkzip related
format used by Winzip and other "zip" utilities.  Gzip also only compresses,
it does not deal with multiple files.

Probably the best known open source implemention of the pk related zip
format archivers is Info zip's "zip" and "unzip" packages, available on most
platforms.
