Judging from the extension .gz the command to use is gzip not tar. For
compressed tar I'd expect extension .tgz or .tar.gz. Try 'gzip apt.dat'
instead.

Hello all,
I am having trouble with an updated apt.dat file. I think it is with
compressing it. I used the command 'tar cfz apt.dat.gz apt.dat'. Is
this correct?
When I put the compressed file into FG, but there were problems
loading. First, it fell over on line 2 (the version number and
copyright), so I removed that. It then gets through the file, but
seems to get stuck in an infinite loop, not recognising the end of
the file. The log looks like this:

and thus it continues indefinitely. The text it is reading from the
file is correct, so it seems to be some subtle character set encoding
thing, perhaps?
