They aren't ZIP files, GZIP files, RAR files or plain TAR (archive, noncompressed) files.. They are compressed with a common compression algorithm popular on *nix platforms - , Compress is one such unix compression utility using said algorithm. Bill Gates apparently doesn't want to support that one. Of course it's pretty ancient but still used.
