Re: A silly question about tar [solved]

So it looks like the ultimate solution is Greg Folkert's suggestion to
install the package unp, which handles multiple archives and
automatically chooses the right extractor.   Cameron Hutchison's shell
function is also handy, but unp probably makes that unnecessary if you can
install packages on the system you're using.

Thanks, list!

Watch out you'll get addicted to unp. You will long for it on all
platforms.
