Ah, you MUST be NT users. :)
IIRC, this is a NT-only problem. I never had this behaviour with a Win9x
machine, honestly, *never*.
However, my machine at work is a NT 4 SP 5 (?) one, so I always get   ...
_tar.tar  files instead of tar.gz. This is *very annoying*.. :-/
I do NOT have W2k yet, so I dunno if this is fixed in W2k. I hope it is, but
I bet it's not.
