ok, how do i uncompress a tarball? when i use tar -x.... i get a message 
about not being able to initialize the device sa0. i presume it's looking for 
a tape drive. per the help, if i try to filter through bzip2 or unbzip2 or 
ungzip i get the same thing. i'm sure this is very simple but i'm not finding 
it.

have two files i want to undo. one is .tar.bz2 the other is a .tar.gz.

all help is much appreciated.

and happy holidays to all who are celebrating at this time of year.
Dave
