Reading .gz file

Hello
I have a .gz file that contains bathymetry data (hopefully!). I read online that it should be unzipped first so I tried this in 7zip. However, once I did that, the file no longer has an extension.
Is it possible to open and view this file in Matlab? Ideally I want a .txt file out of it so I can interrogate the data.
Thanks in advance for your help. I've can't attached the file as it exceeds 5MB.

That manual just talks about mechanics such as using floppy diskettes to save the data, and does not talk about file formats. It is not relevant as the data has already been saved online and the question is how to import the data into MATLAB.

That is not the question. The user already unzipped the file, getting out a file with no extension, and the user wants to read the file.
The manufacturer is Olex.no but I cannot seem to find any documentation about the file format. I did find another commercial vendor which can read the files, but that does not really help.
