We really don't have separate base packages for separate OS's. We
have one base package (.tar.gz and .tar.bz2 versions) and then we have
a separate Windows .zip version since a lot of windows people don't
have unix style archive extraction tools on their windows machines.
..can these use tarballs named .tgz instead of .tar.gz etc ?
I'd vote for another approach.
PowerArchiver for Windows, unlike WinZip, _is_ able to deal with .tar.gz
archives - at least Version 6.11 does (definitely, just tested).
>From the FAQ, that's contained in the 6.11 package:
Q: What is the difference between PowerArchiver and other archive utilities?
A: PowerArchiver is easier, it's FREE and it has more features than most
other archive programs.

Q: Can I put a link to your page from my home page?
A: Yes, you are very welcome to. On the PowerArchiver web site you can find
small pictures of "PowerArchiver Now" which you can freely put on your
page and link to http://www.powerarchiver.com
Q: Can we put PowerArchiver on our CD-ROM or distribute it with our
magazine?
A: Definitely! I will be very happy that you did.
?nstead of offering a second base package archive, we'd be probably better
with offering PowerArchiver from the FG servers (with credits to the author
somewhere),
Martin.
All WinRAR, WinACE and WinIMP are able to treat .tar.gz file types.
Also WinZIP is able to unzip them, but requires external program for
this.
IMO we should leave things as they are now for a certain time. For
newer releases if we ran out of disk space, we could have only .tgz
archive left then, but I would still leave .zip file otherwise. If I
were administrator, I should only move the zip shared package from
win32 folder to the shared folder. The names of the base packages
should be the same, but only the extensions should differ. That's the
reason why I was confused from the beginning anyway.
