Aha. I had close to that, but didn't know enough to use xargs. And, as in
horseshoes, nearsies don't count.
Thanks.

Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature, please!

If Windows is the answer, I want the problems back!
I have a slew of tar.gz files in a directory, and I want to unpack them in
that directory. I can't seem to "wildcardize" the usual commands I use to do
this:
tar xzvf *tar.gz (and)
gzip -dc *gz | tar xvf -
both fail to do it.
Any help, praise, or blame would be welcome at this point!
