Plain text please... Obvious error? It's not a tar file. It's a gzipped tar file. The simplest way to unpack is to:
gzip -dc openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz | tar xvf - Alternatively; gunzip openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz tar xvf openssl-0.9.7c.tar Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. -----Original Message----- From: John S.

Of course I do not user tar for backup so I do not have a recent history of using it. What obvious error I'm I making using tar? -- ------------ Wolter Works - Always Innovating ------------- - Industry and Commerce Internet Invention - Internet Marketing Product Concepts & Implementation mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] John Wolter, President 1531 Jones Drive Ann Arbor, MI 48105-1871 USA 1-734-665-1263 Copyright 2003 John S.
