Hi,
You can use 7zip/WinRaR to exact GZIP or .Z files and call 7zip/WinRaR with tSystem. Let me know if it is working with you.

Hi,
The error info is "1"? If so, it indicate it is warning, no fatal errors, such as some files are in use and it has not been compressed.
Is it successful when you use 7-zip to unzip your file by manual?
