What is a PACK.GZ file?

File packed first using Pak200 (to create a .PACK file), and then compressed using gzip compression (into a .GZ file); used to reduce the file size of a .JAR file for download over the Internet.

More Information

PACK.GZ files are commonly used by Java Web Start clients to retrieve and unpack JAR files over the Internet for Java applications.

NOTE: PACK.GZ files may be decompressed into PACK files using a gzip decompression utility, but they cannot be restored to the original JAR file without using Pack200.
