How to gzip multiple files into one gz file?

I am trying to gzip a bunch of files in the same folder using cgywin on windows 7. When I try

gzip *.*

I can't seem to specify a gzip filename to put all the files into. All files are gzipped separately. Is it possible to gzip the collection of them into the file?

No, you do not gzip collection. You use PAX or CPIO or TAR to make it.

gzip *.* is useless.

DOS would take gzip .
UNIX would use gzip *

tar cfz file.tgz dir/ dir/ dir/ file dir/file

tar tvfz file.tgz
tar xvfz file.tgz
