The file marked 'tar/gzip (395k)' is called m.gz by my MSIE (6.0)I'll wait to see which (if any) of them work for you all.Winzip likes both tar and gzip, but cannot understand .gz file. It wants to know the extension of the enclosed file! ... or the tz2 file. I haven't got to my QL yet, but I suspect gzip will be the one.
Doooerrr... I haven't got a .gz file. I think you mean .tgz where it's a gzip'ed tar archive. My WinZip asks if it should unpack to single file (the tar) to a temporary file and then open it. Have you got an ancient WinZip?
and my winzip is 8.1
Winzip says:
"please enter the full name of the file contained within the archive m.gz. For example, if the contents is a DOC file, a recommended filename is m.DOC"
Clearly an impossible question to answer - 'catch 23'?
