You didn't look hard enough at SimTel:  gzip comes with the DJGPP
distribution.  It's available as
<ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gzp124b.zip>, or
whatever other SimTel mirror you use.  Many of the GNU utilities have
already been ported to DJGPP, so always check there first!

If this file does not exist on your local SimTel mirror, then it is not
being properly updated and you should switch to another.
