How can the files be extracted from the tar/gzip file?

tho i do not use apropos, and it has been refreshed to my thinking, and i have seen some improvements to it, try following at cli or in an x terminal;

  man apropos
  man cpio
  man gzip
  man tar
  apropos cpio
  apropos extract
  apropos gzip
  apropos tar

i prefer cpio to tar.

i do not use compression, it is dangerous and could cost all data.
if you can not back it to floppy, use tape, cd, dvd. never compress!



peace out.
