John,
gzip -d decompresses gzip'd files as such
gzip -d blah.gz
if you have a file that is tar'd and gzip'd then there are 2 options, untar, and
unzip, or untar/unzip.
say you have file.tar.gz, sometimes you have to untar, then unzip, sometimes it
requires a unzipping while untarring... as such:
tar -xvf file.tar.gz (which leaves file.gz, then you gzip -d file.gz)
or
tar -zxvf file.tar.gz
note: copy the file to a separate directory first!!!! or it may unzip a bunch of files
where you dont want a bunch of files!
