Hey, no offense intended.  It's just that I've known precious few people 
that have actually paid for their copy of WinZip.  They either put up 
with the nagalogs, or they go and grab a serial from their favorite 
purveyor of fine pirated bits and run WZ right alongside their pirated 
copies of Cakewalk, Soundforge, Photoshop, MS Office and Bejeweled 2.

Fact o' the matter is, though, that WZ *does* stink for .tar.gz, 
.tar.bz2 and .Z files.  Throw my vote in for providing both .tar.gz and 
.zip drops of the nightlies, as I deplore having to work with .zip files 
on my Linux boxen and heartily appreciate the continued availability of 
the gzips.  Smaller filesize, too.
