- I am having lots of trouble untarring files.
- For instance:
- I FTP'd and downloaded uemacs-linux.tar.z and uncompressed it.
- Then, I did: tar -xv uemacs-linux.tar
- The disk ran and acted as if something was happening, but when I ls'd
- all I saw was the .tar file staring at me still. Could someone lead
- me to a man page for this sucker (preferably e-mail me one) or post some
- help here on it??
-
- Thanks!
