Hello, Peter!

I bet the files you have are compressed using the freeware GZIP (and can be
uncompressed using GUNZIP).  The program takes the 3 letter file extension,  and
changes the last letter to a 'Z'.  So you probably have some FILENAME.PGN stuff
gzipp'd to FILENAME.PGZ.  Just search on the web for "GUNZIP.EXE" and you'll be
able to download the executables.
