So you can then uncompress the file (i.e. extract from .Z format), then figure out how to use the tar program to get the files out... I don't know TAR so I can't help you there... But it outta be on your UNIX system. Then if you want the file(s) smaller, you can then compress each of them and then download them. -- / Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu \ \ Computer engineering student seeking a job. /
