     Hi,Peter,
         if you just interesting in use gzip to unzip a long file
     name file,like 123456789.test.tar.gz,just try this way
     for example,if you try directly in dos,will get this info :
     
     C:\DOS>gzip -d most4_7_.gz
     most4.7.tar: No such file or directory
     
     
       first,rename the LFN to "test"    
      gzip -c -d test >most.tar
     
     then tar -xvf most.tar.
     
      Hope this will work.
