I know this is a little off subject, but I think it's a problem may people are running into.
I have a ftp server with lot's of files on it. I usually use .tar.gz for large archives rather than .zip because not all my UNIX users has unzip installed. Winzip supposedly supports tar and gz also. I recently found that when my Windows users download the .tar.gz archives using Netscape and try to unzip them using Winzip, they get an error message and they don't get anywhere. I would like to understand what is going on, and how I can fix the problem. If anyone had the same problem and found a good solution (meaning NOT having to use .zip rather than .tar.gz, and NOT having to use that terrible "OS" called Windows), please let me know. Thanks
