Explanation

The gunzip command decompresses files compressed with gzip (.gz extension), and expand decompresses files compressed with the compress utility (.Z extension). These are the standard Unix tools for uncompressing files. gzip and zip are compression tools, while winzip is a Windows-specific program.
