Hmmm. Didn't try file. I initially tried to list the contents through "tar -ztvf", but it told me it wasn't a compressed file.
tar is an archive tool, not a compression tool tar tzvf is equivalent to gunzip -c <file> | tar tvf -
Then, just for kicks, I tried opening it in vi and there it was - nice and textual. I'll run "file" on it as soon as I get to the office and let you know.
vim is clever enough to uncompress a gzipped file on-the-fly: it will show you the gunzipped content of the file, this does not tell you whether the file is gzipped or not. use "cat" if you do not have "file"; cat does not gunzip, so if the file is actually gzipped, you should get some garbage as output. _______________________________________________ Trac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.edgewall.com/mailman/listinfo/trac
