Re: gunzip: ae_962.orig.tar.gz: not in gzip format

[Jimmy Richards <linuxrh@home.com>]

	Hi Andy,

	Once in a while the someone names the file .tar.gz when they tar it
then don't use gzip on it. Try just untaring with   tar xvf <file>  and
see what happens. That may do it, not sure.


	HTH,

	Jim Richards
