Use "gzip -d" to depack, and then you can convert the .d64 to zipcode by disk2zip, cbmconvert (Unix) or Starzip (PC,MS-DOS). On c64 with large disks, you can use "gunzip" to depack the file, id64 (on IDE64) to quick write to the 1541 drive. 1!name,2!name,3!name,4!name - see ".zip" .rar - Use unrar(Unix), WinRar(Windows) to decompress.
