Server Side: If the server's mime file is okay, no problem (works
great with at least NCSA & Apache)
Browser Side: Under Un*x, most browsers (including Arena, Mosaic &
Netscape) use the system's gunzip and it works; Anyway under Win95 or
System 7, you'll have to download an application to un'gzip the files and
configure your browser to use it.
As a sidenote, apache can be configured to gunzip on the fly...
