I have a directory with several *.tar.gz files that I want to untar to
another directory.  I tested my command "tar xfvz file.tar.gz -C
/new/dir" and it worked OK.  Next I tried "tar xfvz * -C /new/dir" but
received errors like this:

tar: file1.tar.gz not found in archive
tar: file2.tar.gz not found in archive
tar: file3.tar.gz not found in archive
tar: file4.tar.gz not found in archive

How should I structure my command to untar all the files at once?

Thanks,

Drew
