Subject: Re: Soundmedem-.10 file not uncompressing


Did you use the command
   tar zxvf  name-of-your-gzipped-tarball


Hello again,

Thank you for the replies to my question.

tar -zxvf soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz failed but tar -zxvf soundmodem-0.7.tar.gz
uncompressed without a problem, so I thought that the file
soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz must be faulty in some way. The solution was to first
gunzip soundmodem-0.10.tar.gz and then pass the result to tar, as was
suggested.

Because I cannot get recent versions of Mandriva to generate a /dev/ttyUSB0
device for my PCMCIA modem I'm forced to use Windows for Internet access (an
extremely frustrating situation). Perhaps Windows somehow corrupted  this
particular tar.gz file?

Regards,
Phil.
