The following explanation is quoted from the WinZip help file:

|Because there are no widely accepted MIME types for the following
|extensions, they may not automatically launch WinZip when accessed via
|HTTP (although they will when accessed via FTP):
|
|    gz, taz, tgz, Z, arj, arc, b64, bhx, lzh, uu, uue, xxe, hqx
|
|Depending on the server, accessing files with these extensions via HTTP
|will either bring up a Save As dialog or show garbage on the screen, or
|result in an error message.
