gzip repair



Does anyone know if there exists a utility to try and repair dammaged
gzip files? I have a tar.gz with 13 postscript files which were
generated with an MSDOG graphics programme in the Dark Days,
unforunately when I gunzip I get

$ tar -xvzf figures.tar.gz 
-rw-r--r-- graeme/staff  23145 Apr 17 11:00 1996 fig1.ps
-rw-r--r-- graeme/staff 848606 Apr 17 15:27 1996 fig10.ps
-rw-r--r-- graeme/staff  11253 Apr 17 11:00 1996 fig11.ps
-rw-r--r-- graeme/staff 1013152 Apr 17 11:00 1996 fig12.ps
-rw-r--r-- graeme/staff  888283 Apr 17 11:00 1996 fig13.ps

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
tar: Child returned status 1

I realise that fig13.ps is probably dead, but is there a way to get
past the error and recover subsequent files?

Thanks,

Graeme
