Keywords: Mail, tar, uncompress Message-ID: <1990Nov7.225205.19796@zip.eecs.umich.edu> Date: 7 Nov 90 22:52:05 GMT Sender: cerberus@caen.eingin.umich.edu Organization: University of Michigan EECS Dept., Ann Arbor, MI Lines: 11 A while back someone stated the order of taring and uncompressing, etc to convert NeXT mail with folders, etc in them. I have gotten apps mailed to me on another Unix box and saved them without the headers, etc. and ftped them to my NeXT. I'd like to extract the apps but I've tried taring and uncompress and both give me errors. Could someone mail me the format or sequence of operations to unzip my files? Thanks, Eric Bennett cerberus@caen.engin.umich.edu cerberus@itl.itd.umich.edu (NeXTMail)
