Viewer for gz files
Can anyone recommend a gui viewer for .gz files whereby you don't have to decompress them first? OK I can read them off the console with zless or various commands but that's not what I have in mind. Any ideas? TIA :) Fish
Fish, I use gentoo as my file manager, and it will display the contents of tarry geezers. Best, Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

If you use KDE, ark works great for viewing. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/

Heck, if all you want to do is view the contents, Konqueror does that. -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Time is the best teacher. Unfortunately it kills all its students.

I believe mc works for this as well as what the others have suggested. John --

I don't know how the others work, but mc treats such archives as directories. You can copy or move files in or out with the same select and F5/F6 ease. This is how I extract nightly Mozilla builds. -- "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

Not just "treats as", it makes directories of them. mc unpacks the tar.gz into /tmp and then navigates in there. Don't use it unless you have available disk space

i just click them in Konqueror and they open as though they were directorys. It works in 8.2 pro. does it work for you? CWSIV On Tue, 2004-06-01 at 16:45, Mark Crean wrote:
