<div class="yiv496382364MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">.ps.gz is a postscript file compressed using GZip. On windows you will need to find a postscript viewer, or you can use the ps2pdf online tool to convert it
to a pdf document. And to uncompress the gz file you can either search for gzip (gunzip) or use Cygwin so you can have the full Gnu suite available. There is a gzip for windows, but I am a little confused, because I thought 7-Zip is able to expand the GZip
files.</span></div>

<div class="yiv496382364MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black;">Thanks a lot.<br>
<br>
Though when I try to open the archive with 7-Zip it says that it cannot open it.<br>
I'm working on Windows7.<br>
<br>
Any idea of tool I could use?<br>
<br>
Thanks</span></div>

Reminds me of a very fascinating paper<br>
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/papers/dancing-color.ps.gz<br>
<br>
(Note that the paper discusses puzzles where pieces may have one out<br>
of a limited number of "shapes" resulting from all permitted<br>
positions. I guess that's similar to what OP described.)<br>
