They have a collection of UNIX utilities that have been ported to Win32. You can find information about this at: http://www.cygnus.com/techie/ by clicking on "The GNU-Win32 Project". Download the user tools, run the install, and then be sure to add the proper directories to your path. This solution has the advantage that it is free. The easiest way to unpack your file then (assuming that your file is currently called filename.tar.gz) would be to do the following: gzip -d filename.tar.gz tar xvf filename.tar There is a way to pipe these together, thus keeping the original .gz file compressed, but I cannot remember what it is off the top of my head. 2.) Get WinZip from http://www.winzip.com. This has the advantage of being dirt simple to use. It has the disadvantage that if you want to continue using it beyond the evaluation period, you really should pay for it. Hope this helps. -- with Std_Disclaimer; use Std_Disclaimer; Signature.Put (Name => Ken Sodemann, E_Mail => kwsodema@avistainc.com Web => http://www.pcii.net/~stuffel Company_Web => http://www.avistainc.com);
