hello,
my name is richard, i am having a terrible time trying to un-tar the
apache download.

i am downloading it to my windows machine then using WS_FTP to get it
onto my Linux box.  i am using Linux 5.1

i noticed that the file name for some reason changes from
apache_1_3_9_tar.Z to
apache_1_3_9_tar.tar when i download it to my windows machine. i dont
know why this happens.  so next i use WS_FTP to send it to my Linux
box.  then i try to un-tar the file and nothing happens. i can let it
sit for hours and nothing. what am i doing wrong here?

the tar comand line i use us like this -
  tar -x -v apache_1_3_9_tar.tar

after entering that command i just get a blinking cursor on a new line.
no output no nothing.  it will just stay like that until i hit CTRL+C
then i get my command line back.

i have also tried this with the apache_1_3_9.tar.gz file with the same
exact results except the file name is not changed when i download onto
my windows machine.


i am at a compleate loss here.  how do i un-tar this file. nothing i do
seems to work.

Richard
