What can be used to 'gzip' in Windows?

gzipped files are awesome! they are the best compressed files I know, .rar and .zip are nowhere near , if you compare the compression ratios...

Generally I use Windows, does anyone know how can I gzip in Windows?? I have severe limits at the attachment sizes here, so anything that compresses more, is better.


Solution 1:

7zip will handle gzip format. It also offers lzma compression which is much better than gzip.

If you want a command-line gzipper just like gzip in linux, try this

Solution 2:

7zip and zgip are different things. You can't use 7zip to get the profit you want to get from the real gzip.

Try to use binaries from here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm
