[linux-help] Re: Unzipping files with the *.gz extension

[Jesse Kaufman <glandix@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

to unzip a .gz (gzip) file, just do 'gunzip <file>.gz' ...  if netscape
saves it w/o the .gz extension, you might want to make sure it didn't
automatically un-gzip it for you by running the 'file' command (ie: 'file
<filename>')...  it will tell you what type of file it is (really kewl
command, actually!)

i'm sure there's some option somewhere hidden in netscape do disable the
auto-unzipping, but i don't know for sure...  plus, for me it's been
fairly unreliable...  this time it unzips, this time it doesn't ... who
knows! : ^ )
