It does, sort of. more than you might expect for such an ancient Unix
program.
from the man page:
gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each file
Quick tutorial on OS file name extensions (suffixes) and file type: While '.gz'
tells your OS it needs to go to gunzip to be uncompressed into a file without
the '.gz', gunzip does not care about the name. To bypass the OS extension
association, you can force the input and output file names
So I looked up the gzip/gunzip command; the -S "" option will allow it to
work on any file (it basically ignores the 'suffix')
Thus, you should be able to do
gunzip -S "" test.gnucash

I remember running into this problem; there is an option to tell gunzip to
ignore the extension (but I don't remember it at the moment)...
alternatively, you could make a copy of the gnucash file and rename it with
a .gz extension instead of gnucash.

A previous message about mass change of stock price source used gunzip
as part of that process. But, in rereading that message, I see that I

I don't see any in my file. Edit a copy and load it.

I don't think this maillist should be cluttered up with details that
clearly fall in the developer territory. If you look in the right place,
there may be some information about the file structure, but not here.

gzip requires the compressed filename to end in `.gz`, which it will remove
from the name of the uncompressed file. Just rename the file to test.gnucash.gz
and unzip that:
mv test.gnucash test.gnucash.gz
gunzip test.gnucash.gz
emacs test.gnucash

For the record, yes, you can use gunzip, but you have to manually rename it
first.
Having said that, the name space is used throughout the file, so you might
have a large editing job to do... And such editing is not supported. Make
sure you have a good backup.

Where did you get the impression that you could use gunzip to uncompress
the files?
To "uncompress" the file you need to change your preferences in Gnucash
to turn off "Compress Files", then save your file. This will make the
file uncompressed.
Best practice would be to copy the
