Hello Jose! Thanks for the tip - WinZIP was in fact able to handle the two part extraction (TGZ->Tar->DIC), but it wasn't particularily "easy" - I would still be in favor of providing the dictionaries in ZIP-format, which is much more familiar to PC-users, easier to extract, and gives the same or better compression ratio as TGZ.
