Let's presume you have a file called filename.tar.Z Then type: uncompress filename.tar #gives you filename.tar tar xvf filename.tar #gives you the files from the archive Or alternatively: zcat filename.tar | tar xf - which does the same.

You can uncompress them, using compress, and then use tar on the uncompressed file - alternativly use gnu tar which has a command line flag for uncompressing (I think it just pipes it through compress first) Dave -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Dave Gilbert - gilbertd@p4.cs.man.ac.uk - The MTBF of a piece of equipment - - G7FHJ@GB7NWP - is inversly proportional to its - ------------------------------------------- importance -

with gnu tar you can say
tar -ztvf file.tar.Z
and the -z option will uncompress for you. handy that.
