This has to be in a FAQ file, but I don't have it, so please forgive me... I've found some files that end in ".tar.Z", usually GNU sources, UNIX stuff, etc. How do I create/unpack one of these on a DOS PC? I would do it on my UNIX account, but I only have about 100K disk space to work with. :-( Surely these programs have been ported to DOS. Where might I find them in .zoo or .zip format? Thanks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul F. Smith - ADPC - Purdue University psmith@ecn.purdue.edu
