Simple answer: Yes. I used it several times. 'gunzip -S zip filename.zip' should do the trick.

From the gunzip man-page:

Quote:
Files created by zip can be uncompressed by gzip only if they have a
single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This feature is
only intended to help conversion of tar.zip files to the tar.gz format.
To extract a zip file with a single member, use a command like gunzip
<foo.zip or gunzip -S .zip foo.zip. To extract zip files with several
members, use unzip instead of gunzip.

Will winzip not gzip files? I swear i've extracted them in win xp before. of course, i wouldn't be shocked to see windows doesn't ship with the ability to extract files compressed in an open source format.
