I am sorry that I didn't explain myself clearly to Tran on using gz
and I have gotten some flack about it. I apologize sincerely.

This is what I meant to say...

Gnu has their own tar untility under /bin/gnu. (or something of that
nature) To see which tar utility you are using, type

% which tar

If the reponse is similar to

/bin/gnu/opt/tar

Then you can use the following command to unzip and untar the file

%tar -xvfz

Where the -z option takes care of the gnunzip

If you are using the tar utility that is associated with gnu, to use
their man pages you need to type the following.

%tar --help

and that should give you all the options that are associated with the
"gnu" tar.

If you don't have gnu then you can easily download it from the web

Again, I appoligize for not fully explaining my statment.

Rich
