Nearly every Linux distro contains tar(1) in its base system. I have never seen a version of tar(1) on Linux that did not contain the "z" option. The "z" option in conjunction with the "c" option creates a gzipped tar archive, and when used with the "x" option unzips and untars the archive. Additionally, gzip and gunzip are generally in the base systems because things like man pages and log files are gzip'd. -- -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
