You can also use the -j option to tar:

My tar does not list this. If the file is gzip'd, then the 'z' option can be used as you suggest. I really need to update my work desktop. I see this option on a newer box.
Yup. I'm running various SuSE distributions from 8.1-9.0 and they all have this option. My only remaining Caldera box (eD2.4), however, does not. It appears to have been added in newer versions of GNU tar.
