Regarding my problem with the scenery tar file --- I think it is a
cygwin bug with gzip.
I transferred the file to a dual boot machine with Linux Red Hat and was
able to quickly and easily decompress the files once I renamed the file
extensions to .tar.tgz   (downloading the .tgz files to my Windows
renamed the original file to a .tar from .tgz)

It was an unexpected problem since I had no previous problems untarring
other scenery tiles through WinZip.  So far the files I have had
problems with are ones around w120n30, such as w120n50, etc.  Maybe it
depends on who built the scenes, on what platform they used and how they
compressed the files.

All the scenery files were built and compressed at the same time with the same procedure, platform, and tools (by me.) I suspect something got corrupted when you downloaded the files to your windows machine. Find md5sum.exe for windows and run it on the w120n30.tgz file. You should get:

$ md5sum w120n30.tgz
c7572d1ff8f8e06161bcf2a813e3d612  w120n30.tgz

If you get any other value, then you definitely have some sort of file corruption.

Curt.
