I'm having "one of those moments." I'm trying to uncompress a *.tar.Z file, but not having much luck. In the past, I always typed "uncompress *.tar.Z", but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I thought perhaps I could use tar, but either it's not going to work or I've just got my syntax incorrect. I looked at its man page, and it looks ok, but doesn't work. Anyone care to enlighten me on this ridiculously simple task? TIA, Brian -- bts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
