How do you recover Window files via Knoppix?

I haven't used KNOPPIX for a long while and don't know if there is zip. You can achieve the same with tar and gzip.

just do a tar -zcvf /mnt/hda1/backup.tar.gz "your directory"

but you have to get into KNOPPIX to unpack it or get a copy of some third party utility under windows to read that.
