I explained about gz, tar.gz and tgz files in a message to you, do you not
read what you are told. ??
If the file is named *tgz the you are using the WRONG command, you should
use in this case;
'tar xzf filename.tgz' not 'gunzip filename.gz'
You said; "but otherwise for *.tgz files" so why use "gunzip filename.gz"
when its a tgz extention.
If you dont know what a file is do;
'file filename'
