Mr. Bricle, et alia:
Indeed it is particularly instructive to note that the "tar zxvf
name-of-your-gzipped-tarball" is presumptive to the fact that indeed the
tarball has been size reduced with gzip!
It is entirely possible to use "j" (vice little "z") for bzip, or even
to use "Z" (big "Z") for compress/uncompress as appropriate.
V/R,
Stuart, N3GWG
