compressed tar archives
|

| I have a compressed tar archive, filz.tar.Z, created on another flavor of
Unix. Under RedHat 9, what is the correct syntax to first uncompress the
archive to filz.tar. I do not see an uncompress command.
TIA
Ron

either:
gzip -d filz.tar.Z
or:
gunzip filz.tar.Z
ought to work.

Thanks. The man page for tar listed a --uncompress option but I couldn't
get it to work
