I think that it's probably better not to use the -R, so that the sources 
don't get accidentally erased when doing an uncompress command, as some 
of those commands delete the compressed files after extracting.

I had asked if it should be -R because I did not know that a root owned 
compressed file could be uncompressed, but it makes since that you can 
uncompress it since you can read it.

So everything is going good.
