Yes, gzip and gunzip both work as compress and uncompress. The problem is that there is a key in compress and uncompress (-) that is used to inform them to read from stdin so we have to eventually change scripts that used compress and uncompress to contemplate this feature. In our case if we changed scripts they runned ou of their md5sum and could not work anymore.
Then why don't you install ncompress, as has been suggested before?
