Right you are: Netscape is stupid! It did in fact unzip the file but leave it with same name. I was then able to open the tar file. Thanks for the advice. I was driving myself nuts trying to figure out what was going on! ken Alan Shutko wrote: > > Ken Januski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > >

Hi, I've run into an odd problem over the last few months. More than half the *gz files I download from Netscape refuse to unzip with gunzip. I always get the message XXX is "not in gzip format." Running file on XXX gives me "GNU tar archive." Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Tha
