I may be totally wrong about this, but I was under the impression that the
"-z" option in tar referred specifically to gzip compression, which is not
quite the same as what (un)compress does. Although I notice now that
they're both Lempel-Ziv, anybody know why we need two of them then?
I would have said that if it was short for .tar.Z then the answer would
have been "uncompress -c something.taz | tar -xvf" or possibly "tar -xZvf
something.taz". Am confused now. Help?
