Hi there, I have problems reading tar files when I download them from the zope web site. I am working on a NT2000 box. Winzip does recognize the tarfiles as compressed archives but balks when trying to open them. Is there an other utility out there I can use to deal with these files? Thanks for your tips Robert

My WinZip (V 7.0 SR1) *does* handle tar.gz files properly. Use "Open Archive", File Type "All archives", select your archive file, "Open". WinZip should ask you whether you want to decompress that single file contained in the archive and open it. Enough temporary disk space assumed, this should work well. You can extract any files you wish afterwards from within the GUI. -- Best regards, Ansgar W. Konermann eMail: ak26@inf.tu-dresden.de

For some reason IE saves a *.tar.gz file as *.tar.tar. Just re-rename it to *.tar.gz and Winzip will do the right stuf. Regards Max M Max M. W. Rasmussen, Denmark.
