Hi Jim, Maybe I'm wrong, but what happens if you do one of the following: # mv HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tgz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tar.gz # gunzip HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tar.gz Or maybe even better: # tar xzvf HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tgz I am no command line guru, but I am afraid gunzip does not unpack archives ?!?!? It just decompresses your stuff
or am I just SOL?

1. tar -zxvf
will work. Sometimes browers decompress the gzip files but don't rename them to just .tar so the easy way to figure this out is to type this: file <the file name>
This will tell you what type of file it is. It may just be a tar file w/ a gz extention.
I tried this and here is what I got: ########################### Script started on Tue Dec 4 17:01:50 2001 Tenn:/usr/local # file HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tgz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tgz: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Wed Nov 14 08:03:19 2001, os: Unix Tenn:/usr/local # tar -zxvf HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta.tgz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/ HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/ HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/fonts.dir HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic24.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic24bold.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic20.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic18.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic18bold.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic16.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic16bold.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic14.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic14bold.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic12.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic12bold.pcf.gz HancomOffice2.0FinalBeta/font/rgothic20bold.pcf.gz gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error tar: 302 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Tenn:/usr/local # Script done on Tue Dec 4 17:03:47 2001 ############################## Any ideas?
