Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 01:05:07 -0700 (PDT) I realized the problem. Despite the name on the HTML page (usually *_tar.Z or *_tar.gz), when the files come down to the NT machine, they end as "_tar.tar", but in reality they should be "*_tar.gz" If you rename the file (as "*_tar.gz") then gunzip can properly unzip the file and then you can rename the file again so that it doesn't end with "_tar", but with ".tar" This allows "tar -xf" to work properly.
