FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
Use the following command to uncompress a tar.Z file.
zcat < 91a22.tar.Z | tar xvf -
or
zcat < 91a22.tar.z | tar xvf -
Zcat will look for a capital Z if you leave off the extension, but will use whatever is there if you use the < sign.
Check man pages on zcat if a more exact definition is required.It the file has been uncrompress and (z or Z extension was resolved) and a tar file remains, the tar file can be expanded using the follow syntax of the tar command.
Syntax:
tar -xvf <file-name>.tar
example:
tar -xvf 156_92379.tar
Check man pages on tar if a more exact definition is required.
