Hi,

I downloaded a package with .gz extension, which presumably works for Unix,
when I installed it directly on windows, it has the error msg:

Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In gzfile(file, "r") :
cannot open compressed file 'CustomCDF_1.1.0.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'

Does anyone know how to convert the package into a windows installable zip
file?

Thanks a bunch,

-Jack
