[aclug-L] Re: Decompressing .tgz files

["David H. Spurlock" <DHS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried the tar and gunzip command last night. Seems that one of them said
something like "unexepectedly reached the end of the file". I have only been
working with the one file but I downloaded other tgz files (all from KDE's
ftp site.) I may have a flaky file.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Regards, 

David
