WinZip is not the only zip implementation for Windows. There are others,
but they may not support tar. That is why I recommended ZIP for creating
compressed archives on Windows. It is possible to use tar and gzip, but
they are simply not as well supported and you don't get any significant
benefit for your efforts.
