gunzip <file.gz> is the simplist solution but this also depends on what
the actual file is.  If it is a tar.gz or tgz file then this is a
gzipped tar file which tar can handle natively with 'tar zxf
<file.tar.gz>'.  There are other methods of 'opening' a gz file so if
you provide an example of the filename and location then others can
point you in the best direction.
