Burtan) / 3:36 pm Dec 7, 1989 / O.K. I've got zoo201.tar.Z Now, how do I decode it? ---------- The file is a compressed UNIX tar file. Work from the outside in. 1) uncompress it: uncompress zoo201.tar.Z It will replace the original file with one called: zoo201.tar 2) extract the contents from the tar file: tar xf zoo201.tar That's it! If you want to see what is in the original tar file you can get a "table of contents" by typing: tar tf zoo201.tar -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Oyung Integrated Office Systems HP Corporate Offices
