RE: Get a single file from a tar archive?
Rob,
Try zcat archieve_set file_name, to look at things.
Then;
tar xzvf archieve_set file_name

Rob:
Try "tar --extract --file=<archive> <myfile>"
where <archive> is the name of your tar file, and <myfile> is the name of
your
desired file.
See "info tar" for more details.
