[quote]gunzip is a shell script in "Gzip for Windows".[/quote]
As you note, it's a shell script requiring a POSIX shell, so can't be run directly
from cmd.exe
[quote]How do I use it?[/quote]
If you're stuck with a brain-dead shell such as cmd.exe, you don't. However,
read it to see what it does:--
1) Ensure that the directory containing gzip.exe is in the PATH
2) Invoke 'gzip -d' with the original arguments passed to itself
So, assuming you've already taken care of (1), just invoke 'gzip -d' yourself,
instead of gunzip, (or write your own trivial gunzip.bat replacement for the
POSIX shell script).
[quote]Do I need to install some "Shell for Windows"?[/quote]
If you're satisfied with running brain-dead cmd.exe, then "no"; if you prefer
something more *nix-like...
[quote]Where could I find it?[/quote]
...you might consider MSYS, (from MinGW.org), or Cygwin, (from cygwin.com).
