Typically, foo.tgz is a shorthand filename for foo.tar.gz, so 'gunzip foo.tgz; tar xf foo.tar' should work. As a shorthand using GNU tar (the tar included with Debian, for example), you can just do 'tar xzf foo.tgz'. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
