Windows does that, but then that's Windows for you.
The thing to do is:
tar tf filename.tar.tar
If you get one entery 'otherfilename.tar' then it is indeed a tarball
in a tarball. No need for one of those though.

windows application and you save a certain file, for example jpg file/s,

Are you sure the files you are downloading are tar.tar and not .tar files.
If you are using windows98SE with IE 5 the file may infact only be a tar
file. For some reason on my computer IE saves tar file

Hi all you helpful RH people:
Thank you for your quick and informative reply. However, I think I missed
something. I will try the "gunzip filename.tar.gz" command when I get back to
RH (requires a reboot) but I guess I have to ask. I've seen packages like:
filename.tar
filename.

or you can skip the gunzip command and do:
tar xvzf filename.tar.gz
once tar has unarchived the package you cd into the newly created directory and
there should be README and INSTALL files to read. typically, though, you can
'cd' into root and then run:
/configure
then
/make ; make install
of
type
gunzip filename.tar.gz
hit enter
type tar -xvf filename.tar
thats all there is to it!

Hello RH People:
While trying to get ppp to work in RH 6.2 I was surfing the web in Win95
and found a few packages I'd like to use and D/Led them. Unfortunately
they are in .tar.tar and .tar.gz packages. I'm a newbie and don't speek
