Oh, for heaven's sake. What's the actual file name that you're trying to unpack. I'm fairly srue that it's not actually blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tar.tgz...it's probably blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tgz. If this is the case, then the command is "tar -xzvf blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tgz" -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
