[Sunhelp] gunzip - to uncompress

[Andy Say]

Actually in most places gunzip is just a soft link to gzip...  The
executable reads the command line to determine the operation (i.e. gzip vs.
gunzip).

You could just use 'gzip -d' instead of gunzip.  In fact, I believe
gunzip and gzip are the same executable.
