Right, gzip only compresses a single file. Most commonly, people wanting to bundle things up use the tar utility and compress the resulting file, resulting in a .tar.gz file. ntfs-blah.tar.gz --> ntfs-blah.tar: gunzip ntfs-blah.tar.gz ntfs-blah.tar --> <files>: tar xvf ntfs-blah.tar ntfs-blah.tar.gz --> <files>: tar xvzf ntfs-blah.tar.gz TD> Now I haven't a clue about shell scripts, as I'm used to dos batch TD> files, so I looked into the dos to linux howto, which told me that TD> all I needed to make the shell script executable was to type the TD> following command: TD> TD> chgmod +x <filename> This is a typo. The correct command is "chmod". (And it looks correct in the copy of the HOWTO I have.) I'm also guessing thaty ou don't have a shell script, but a tar archive instead; see above. -- _____________________________ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.
