Strange file compression

Seems to me on my last PC, I used to use 7-zip to look at zip files without opening them. It let me into the file and its directories where I could look at the images, etc, but it did not open the zip unless I told it to extract all files.

All my PCs have allowed viewing of files within a compressed folder or zip file. . WebTV could view gzipped files online, PCs cannot.
Remember everyone gzipping their midis for sigs and pages?

The weird thing about this game is that the main page had <script src=directory/file.js> and the directory only had file.jsgz I don't understand how the different extension names worked. I wrote the gzip routine on our server FMs and the extension name has to be exact for the routine to work.
