Am I missing something here? Trivial testing shows that 'tar -xzf...' is
successful @ extracting from compressed files.
I renamed both uncompress, and gunzip, and it continued to be successful.
Interestingly, on good confidence I have been told that GNU tar does simply
call the 'gunzip' utility -- at least for 'tar.gz'
Cheers,
