Now now.. no turf wars on compression choices, please. ;)
Any recent version of tar can (should) handle uncompressing bz2
files natively now. There was an argument switch a few revs back which
changed the -I to -j or --bzip2 on uncompress. I believe on your Solaris 2.6
system, you can use this to uncompress a bzip2 file compressed as such,
though it will only work if tar was also part of the archive (i.e. foo.bz2
won't work this way, but foo.tar.bz2 will).
Oh, and my vi is better than your emacs (ducking) ...
