Excuse me but... "-xvzf" indicates that it is a ".tar.gz" or ".tgz"
file. In other words, tar and gzipped. The "z" option says to zip/unzip.
I have heard other remarks about the file being a straight tar file.
I've seen that happen when certain browsers decide to unzip the file for
you when receiving. Some versions and configurations of netscape on unix
would do this when encountering a ".gz" extension. Unfortunately, you still
had the .gz extension in the name and it was easy to miss the fact that the
dain bramaged browser had done something unexpected.
That is NOT the case in your case, however. Had that been a true
straight .tar file, you would have gotten a error about input not in gzip
format when you included the "z" option to the extract.
