I run gzip -c -d tar.tar.gz (thinking, "perhaps I need to unpack tar????") and I get a billion lines of code spew through the DOS window. Has anyone else done this successfully on Win2000 or XP, because I'm tired of getting instructions for Linux come up in searches. My head is about to explode!!!!!!!!

Both have perfectly good free versions TAR, GZ etc are Linux based compression utilities, which is why the search results return Linux answers _____________________________ (in reply to yogaboy)
