My problem is that I have a tgz file and none of the commands to anything. I have tried zcat <various options> winetools-0.2.2.tgz
Which options, and what did you expect zcat to do? zcat will simply cat the tar file to standard output. Not really usable on its own
and gzip <options>
which options?
and gunzip.
And what happened?
Also have tried tar <various options>
which options, and what happened? tar xvzf would be the standard way of unpacking a tgz
and also all of these with various pipes "|" such as zcat winetools-0.2.2.tgz | wc -c etc ..,
counting the number of bytes in the tar file? For what purpose? And how did it fail?
