None. In the days of yore with 8.3 filenames (mainly on DOS
BBSes to propagate Linux), .tar.gz was abbreviated to .tgz.
You can run regular tar operations like -xzvf, tzf on both.

No consolidated list. These are dependent upon packages in-
stalled. The best way to know about them is to check out
man or info pages of any one and see the links to which all
are in "Also See". See the network packages itself, and see
the binaries and man/ doc pages installed.

Dont understand the requirement. cron processes are set for
periodic repeat execution of things that are changing. I
suppose the contents of your "text" and "tgz" files would
be changing constantly.
The problem here is that cron would need an executable to
run as dictated by crontab settings. You would have to make
scripts. For "text" files sending it in the body is easy ..
An untried snippet is below (should work though).
-----<snip>--------
#!/bin/sh
TODAY=$(date +%d/%m/%y)
ADDRS="[EMAIL PROTECTED],
user2@localhost,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
COPIES="[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
mail -s "Atts for $TODAY" $ADDRS -c $COPIES < textfile.txt
-----</snip>-------
Sending as atts, however is a different ball game. You need
to do a base64, or uuencode transformation to the proposed
atts, and use one of the dedicated att supporting command
line utilities (I forget, Suresh, pl help), or write a full
script and despatch with 'sendmail -t'.
For setting up crontab entries, look at the installed docs.
