Shell for gunzip so I don't have to remember?

[André Bell <debian2@one-click.com>]

Is there a good shell for gunzip so I don't have to remember all the
operators?

I ask because I must be doing something wrong.  When I ungzip <file>.gz the
system converts my .gz file to one file with no extension instead of
unzipping the file and all of its contents.

I know there are multiple files in the gzips that I look at because I can
view all of the compressed files when I view the contents of the gzip file
on my pc, just not with gzip on linux :(

If you knoww why this happens and know what I need to do to work around it
please let me know.

Thanks!

p.s. If the files are small enough when uncompressed I just uncompress them
and then copy to a floppy before moving everything over to my debian/linux
system.  Seems there's gotta be a better way :(

I'd use my modem in the debian pc but I'm only running a 486 there and it
is terribly slow at downloading :(  So I download with my pc and trasnfer
via floppies.
