Thanks. .tgz is just shorthand for .tar.gz (probably invented by someone using ms-D'OH!s 8.3 filenames) if your tar command supports it, -z will gunzip a file on the fly: tar -zxvf xxxx.tgz will do the trick. otherwise, mv xxxx.tgz xxxx.tar.gz gunzip xxxx.tar tar -xvf xxxx.tar Probably don't need all the fiddling with filenames, just said it to make sure...
