The -z switch to tar will do it, or the gunzip command. Say you start with "test.tar.gz", you could do: gunzip test.tar.gz In which case you will get "test.tar". You could drop this step, however, by doing: tar -xzf test.tar.gz Or: tar -xzvf test.tar.gz You will then get the expanded contents of the tar. A ".tgz" file, is just a ".tar.gz" file, with a shorter name. On Tue, 7 Oct 2003, Rejean Proulx wrote: > How do I unzip a tgz file?
