I got a strange thing.
I download c++builderx personal solaris version.
In solaris,gzip return error message.
In windows winzip decompress the file successfully.
Anyone knows reason?

Well, gzip uses a different compression algorithm than winzip -- have you
tried using /usr/bin/zip? (gzip generally works on "*.gz" files, while
zip works on "*.zip")

1. use gunzip to unzip the file
2. use tar to extract the file

It is possible to use a shortcut:
tar -zxf fileName.tgz

I have tried gzip,it returned integrity check error.

What is the result of:

file filename.tgz

?

Did you by any chance download the file using FTP in ASCII mode? If so, line
termination conversion may have corrupted the file.

You got the attribution wrong - I didn't write the above - just replied to
it that he should try the file command.  But your ftp/ascii corruption
possibility sounds like a candidate.
