I tried that. I error out at the same point: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format and tar fails.
Note that Stephano reported the same error. tar would not unpack the file. "tar -xvzf /sw/src/nedit-5.2RC1-src.tar.Z gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors ### tar failed, exit code 2 " I also tried to download nedit and got the same errors as stefano. I see that my tar file is uptodate.
