RE: tgz files

.tgz, is an abbrevation of ".tar.gz", and is unix specific. On unix system
one traditional; first tar (Tape Archive) directories and files, and then
compress them with gunzip (gzip) - tar does not compress. The file you have
is borth tared and gziped, but instead of naming the file filkename.tar.gz,
it has been (as is common) named filename.tgz. 

WinZip should be able to handle gzip (and tar I think).

Subject:  tgz files

Hi all,

I'm hoping to install phpdocumentor which I have down-loaded as a 'tgz' 
file to my windows machine. I'm not actually familiar with tgz files and

have no idea what I'm actually meant to do with it.

What does one do with a tgz file?
