Is the first part "gbk" an extension too? I think it may be a genbank file.

First try "gunzip" which will uncompress .gz

Hello:

If you are under linux enviroment write in an terminal command tar -zxvf yourfile.gz Good luck!

Try WinRAR it generally handles more formats then Winzip.

Free demo here:

You can use it past the demo expirartin date you just have to put up with a little nagging message telling you to register it.
