I thought tar would handle this? A file with a name ending in .tgz is usually the same as a file ending in .tar.gz ,namely a .tar file that has been compressed with gzip. Tar can handle such fiels directly, just specify the 'z' flag and tar will automatically invoke gzip for (de)compression of the .tar archive. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
