The Allens

To unzip a *.tgz file requires the programs GZIP & TAR
 To uncompress a *.tgz file as follows:

               gzip -d filename.tgz

This will give you a *.tar file  ie. filename.tar

to uncompress a *.tar file:

              tar xvf  filename.tar

This will uncompress filename.tar into its correct directories.

To view a *.tar file before uncompressing use the following:

              tar.tvf filename.tar |less (|more can also be used)

Viewing will tell the contents and the directories they use.

Hope this helps ...good luck
