I suppose .taz is a new kind of archiving scheme. Anyone know where I can find a decoder? Please respond by e-mail. Thanks. -Joel (joel@techunix.technion.ac.il -or- joel@techunix.BITNET) --

Try this: zcat file.taz | tar tvf - If it is a compressed tar file then the above will type a verbose listing of the archive. Of course the above will work only if you have zcat (or compress/uncompress) and tar on your system. They should be on most if not all UNIX systems. -- Andy Toy, Mortice Kern Systems Inc., Internet: andy@mks.com 35 King Street North, Waterloo, UUCP: uunet!watmath!mks!andy Ontario, CANADA N2J 2W9 Phone: 519-884-2251 FAX: 519-884-8861

If this is true the following command helps: zcat <file.taz | tar tvf - (zcat looks whether the filename ends in .Z unless it reads from standard input.) -- dik t. winter, cwi, amsterdam, nederland dik@cwi.nl

O.K. I know I can use zcat or uncompress on UNIX machine for the compressed tar files or plane compressed files. There's also a program to read tar files on MSDOS machine. Is there a program to uncompress/compress/zcat on PC ? hyeom@cssun.tamu.edu
