Re: Basic Info Sites, Uncompressing The Data!

[Travis Siegel <tsiegel@softcon.com>]

All of the uncompression tools are most likely on your shell account.  You
can use tar to undo those tar files, gzip to undo those .gz files, and
assuming your tar supports it, a simple command like tar -zxfnoname.tar.gz
will uncompress the noname.tar.gz file in one command.  (some os
implementations of tar doesn't support this syntax)  If you need dos tools
to handle the job, Those are available too.  You can get dos gzip programs
from ftp.softcon.com in the /internet directory. under the name msdos.exe.
In that same directory is a tar.exe which will handle tar files.
(unfortunately, I swipped the tar program from another package, and it had
no documentation with it, but it's usage is identical to the linux one)
