I downloaded a bunch of source code the other day that came as a .gz
file.  When I extract it with "gunzip filename", it creates a huge file.  But, it
is supposed to be a directory with files in it.  If I use "ark", the KDE
archiver, I can extract them correctly.  
But I don't want to rely on KDE.  I should be able to tell (or at least
extract to the correct format)using standard tools.  What am I doing
wrong?  
This is the URL of the site where I downloaded the .gz file.
