- A tar.Z file is a group of files that have been first 'tared'
- ( put together into a single file)
- then the file has been compressed.
-
- To decompress this file (say its name is hello.tar.Z)
- "uncompress hello.tar.Z"
- you'll get hello.tar, then
- "tar xf hello.tar"
- so as to break the hello.tar file into seperate files.
- that's all
-
- bye
