That's what I have been doing....;-)

Well the AmigaDOS version gives a slightly longer filesize on the one file I 
tested.
It's only a couple of bytes difference, but I would have thought it would be 
the same.
I had a ".gz" file which I created using the i386 Linux version of Gzip, 
which I decompressed and then recompressed using the AmigaDOS version of 
gzip. The file compressed under AmigaDOS was larger!
