A gzipped tar file usually has a .tgz extension.
Hi Ken,
Is that the convention? I regularly see both but I've never really thought much about it. Am I going to have to unlearn this habit? :-)
No. You should stick to .tar.gz. The combined extension, .tgz, is an old and now deprecated convention.
I think it was invented for those OS'es that can handle only 3 characters in filename extensions. AFAIK the restriction has disappeared, but apparently the habit did not.
