Re: xxx.tar.gz on Windows.
1) tell your user's to Shift-Click the links to download, and/or make
sure Netscape isn't decompressing the files when it downloads them
(probable cause).
2) check that the files aren't being renamed to xxx_tar.gz . For some
reason this happens on some windows boxen. They have to be renamed to
xxx.tar.gz to be useable.
3) possibly give your files the *.tgz extension. It should be recognized
as a compressed tar archive by Winzip (tar czf xxx.tgz mydir).
