Thanks Ray and all, This was exactly the case. Though the unarchived file didn't have an extension after I ran gunzip it turned out to be a tar file. Once I ran tar -xvf on the file it uncompressed just fine. Now I have all the files I could see with winzip. Andre' ...now if I can only figure out which of the hundreds of files is the executable...
