Hi Sumanta:
No, John is right. WinZip 8.0 will not handle it. It's too darn "smart".
(Darn falutin' software!!! ) For a Win32 platform, you should use
WinZip 7.0.
Step #2 (be forewarned, you're going to groan!!!) You're simply missing
the "z" flag in your tar command, e.g.:
mkdir ~/tmp
cf ~/tmp
tar xzvf /usr/local/openSSL/openssl-0.9.6.tar.gz
...In other words, you need to use the z=zip flag. Good luck!
