If you have Gnu tar on the system, tar takes a gzip switch
tar zxvf myfile.tgz
Right, but 'tar' handles GZipped archives by running 'gzip' in a
pipeline under the covers.
(I say ... basing that on first hand experience with Gnu tar. If IBM or
MKS added some built-in GZip capability to their implementation of 'tar'
that would be handy.)
