- Hi,
-
- I was trying to get some programs from anonymous ftp sites, and found out
- that most files for unix are under *.tar.Z name. Please let me know how
- to make the files executable? Do I need a tar.Z archiver? I can't seem to
- find it in the ftp site. Let me know where I could get the proper archiver
- (Unix that I run is Ultrix version).
-
- Thanks.
-
- Leo.
