Re: Newbie tarred and feathered
I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've made a typo. He didn't make a typo, I downloaded the same file and it also had the tar.tar extension. That server has a glitch in their pipeline somewhere. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rename the file to *.tar.gz as opposed to *.tar.tar and then winzip will able to guide you on your way to extracting the actual archive. -Original Message- From: David Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 2:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie tarred and feathered I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but opening the gift-wrapping has this newbie stymied.

Re: Newbie tarred and feathered
On occasion, tar files I download have an extra tar appended to their extension. I am not certain why. Nevertheless, when this happens, you may see filenames like: *.tar.gz.tar Rename it to: *.tar.gz Ditto for *.tgz.tar. I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've made a typo. Uncompressed tar files put out for download are rare. Ben David Hill wrote: I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but opening the gift-wrapping has this newbie stymied.

Re: Newbie tarred and feathered
Thank you all, that worked perfectly with winzip. The download site lists the file as .tar.gz, and I thought it odd that it downloaded as .tar.tar (yes, Ben, it is so, and you may add .tar.tar. to your list of possibles.) Well, live and learn, I shall know better next time. Much obliged, Dave. - Original Message - Jamie replies: Rename the file to *.tar.gz as opposed to *.tar.tar ...
