gunzip: aaa.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored

I used 7z to zip this file under Windows, try to unzip it under linux

[ang@walker temp]$ gunzip 2011.sdf.zip
gunzip: 2011.sdf.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored


Try to us unzip, instead of gunzip

[chang@walker temp]$ unzip 2011.sdf.zip
Archive: 2011.sdf.zip
inflating: 2011.sdf
